@_dmoser @mortenkabell Remind people almost everyday in the battle for transport investment re-prioritization General public here in Australia just fed the next “congestion-busting” press release!!!

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in Copenhagen🇩🇰?’
I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it?’ 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure..bicycling.”~ @mortenkabell

I saw a cyclist roll through a stop sign once

1) why is this a legal option
2) this is in a 55 mph zone
3) Tesla is enticing users to break the law with the instruments

Now is a good as time as any to remind everyone that right turns on red have no business in any area that is likely to have pedestrian traffic...or SHOULD have pedestrian traffic.
