Of Auckland, NZ—a cars-first city & polity, engineered with an afterthought for walking, cycling, staying, transit, human factors or equity. Also #quaxing.

What in the world is #quaxing? Finally, an explanation: http://t.co/moJfZQYn5l

fresh transport policies for National:

- all ebikes to operate only on AA cells
- all new SUVs to be classified as light tanks, permitting certain armaments to be mounted
- all trains to be speed-limited to 10km/h to minimize distress to farm animals, including in urban zones

[Non-motorist* @ByTheMotorway]

the real outrage is how unimaginative this whole policy gimmick is

give us something new to muster up some anger over, you trolls

Some of the most dangerous xenophobic racism and islamophobia I've faced has been on the road, at the hands of drivers.

Guns are relatively rare in NZ. But there are a lot of seething racists behind steering wheels.

One way to think about making safer streets is that it will disarm nutjobs wielding vehicular weapons. This is unfortunately a real threat after the various vehicular terrorist attacks overseas. But it's an everyday threat from many more opportunists too.
