Being in public and hearing the word “roundabout” makes my ears perk up like when a dog hears the word “treat” 🙂‍↕️

Love almost getting run over by municipal cops speeding in parking lots whose cities just adopted Vision Zero plans lmfao

I love cars so much I wish they were much larger and carried like 50 people and went on a set route every few minutes.

New research has found that over half of Britons want cities to have more car-free zones as people become more environmentally conscious and take part in World Car Free Day.

How do you all cope with burn out? How do you find your passion for planning again? I had a really big project start to wrap up and the last few weeks my brain has felt like mush.

one thing they don’t tell you in driving school is that it’s ok to miss your exit and get off on the next one and loop back, instead of coming nearly to a full stop in the middle of the freeway or careening across multiple lanes of traffic quickly to try to make it

Need drivers to understand just because you use your blinker/indicator doesn’t mean you get an automatic pass to go whenever you want.

Pretty shocking that a bright jacket will not protect you from an impact of a 4,000lb vehicle operated by a driver who is looking at their phone.

[Daniel Pearson @DPearsonPHL]

I think people are in denial about how normalized reckless driving is and how much legal and cultural change we need to end it. You don't have to be a cyclist or a walkable cities fan to recognize reality.

when they call tim walz “far left” they mean “provided school children with food”

[Finn Vigeland @fvigeland]

Walz has shored up the urban planner vote

Sometimes I wish I could prop up a lawn chair in the parking garage at work and yell “SLOW DOWN!” at every person speeding for no goddamn reason.
