@KemiBadenoch @RicHolden The same Conservative party that gave us the active travel policy Gear Change has now lost the plot.
The ideas and words they use here feel out of touch.

@HFConsCllrs @msinclairHFC How are you going to make the road safer for everyone?

[JC Hermier @jchermier.bsky.social @jchermier]

@MonkEmma Thank you!

This will flush out the bus concern trolls with measures to prioritise bus journeys over private car use. 😊

[Save Our Safer Streets - Tower Hamlets @SaveBGstreets]

After 2+ years of legal battles, the Court of Appeal has ruled in our favour.

Tower Hamlets cannot lawfully remove our safer streets. A huge precedent for London.

@EdSaper @OpenChiswickW4 And increasing ridership doesn't mean people switching away from cars.

It is just that people already likely to use public transport will use it more and convert some active travel into public transport.

If I'm tracking it's: lose-lose-lose-lose

I just found a great research paper on biases in transport. It goes into some of the known biased we have and applies them to transport.

@JohnJohnStewart @neilchristiex @LornaBlane @andrewellson @EvanDriscoll10 We all select evidence to evidence our points. If we consider that we all believe what we believe, then shouldn't the discussion be about the presented evidence and not the person?

[JC Hermier @jchermier.bsky.social @jchermier]

@JohnJohnStewart @neilchristiex @LornaBlane @andrewellson @EvanDriscoll10 Hi John. The way to counter an evidenced argument is not to attack the person. It is to provide a better argument.
Aren't we all in the business of knowing true things?

@goSHIFTscheme @ediz1975 Hi, did you get a resolution on this?

All vehicles are counted, even in slow traffic, but it is the classification of vehicles that gets less accurate.

@EdSaper @andrewellson Well put.

Have a quick look, similar idea:

Alexander Stubb - President of Finland gave a very empassioned speech about Ukraine which I think we should all listen to.

@frontlinekit Amazing speech.

@unentschieden85 @JamesSurowiecki Hi. The OP is right though. The formula on your link is equivalent to the one presented here.

You can do the Maths for yourself and confirm.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

[JC Hermier @jchermier.bsky.social @jchermier]

"Making driving more appealing leads to more driving". Logical and uncontroversial.

Yet people opposing traffic-calming measures like LTNs dance around that fact.

Why? Because they know this to be true and often just try to find excuses for their habits or that of others.

[JC Hermier @jchermier.bsky.social @jchermier]

@Antni_b @_wearepossible Probably. They should work on all cars designs and be serious about the safety of all road users.
