In a low-car city, human traffic flourishes in the gigantic gap left by the motor traffic; enlivening streets with activities all but extinct elsewhere.
This paradox fascinates and invigorates us: rarely can you experience urban places so serene, yet simultaneously full of life.

London’s cycleways now see an astonishing 1.3 million trips each day; a third of the Underground (for a fraction of the investment).
With half of its ten million residents regularly cycling or wanting to start, a long-term shift in policy has clearly induced a shift in behavior.

Hey @Ausgrid do your drivers know it is illegal to leave the engine running if they are more than 3m away? Road rule 213. this guy had walked off completely out of sight.

Carbon capture is really funny because the best and largest carbon capture facility in the world can offset the emissions from about 850 cars, PER YEAR.
You could do that, or you could paint some quality bike lanes and run 2 or 3 extra trains per hour for a greater impact. – at St Louis, MO
ALT A photo of a carbon capture facility in Iceland, there are what look like several tall walls full of fans pulling in carbon and filtering it out.
Aust Gov: “We are interested in hearing your views on the decarbonisation of all modes of transport, freight and supply chains, active transport planning, and supporting infrastructure.”

To achieve climate goals and decrease greenhouse gas emissions caused by motorised vehicles, governments worldwide should prioritise walking and cycling in all mobility policies. 🚴🚶♀️

Yet again, promises of reduced surface traffic used to justify motorway projects are no longer possible, because of *traffic modelling”. But one more road (Western Harbour Tunnel) might fix it!

Cyclists are more interested in the common good than drivers are, a study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology found. gizmodo.com.au/2023/10/study…
Essentially, peds and riders directly interact with their environment, while drivers are almost entirely isolated from it
We know how to fix this - how to make neighbourhoods & cities better for children’s (and adult’s) mental health.
Will we?
