Street signs around here are just there to be knocked over by motorists.

No road is ever wide enough.
No car parking is ever large enough.
Roundabouts are there to crack the edges or better drive straight over them if there isn't too much vegetation.

Direct action
Motorists rip out no parking signs and throw them in the creek

"Plenty of other no parking signs had been knocked over and thrown aside in various locations."

No. Absolutely no.

Fewer cars, physically separated bike lanes and pedestrian lanes and car free areas in cities make safer roads.

“Smart” cars are just an attempt to divert attention from the real problems

By the way: People don’t want roads, the want streets.

John Maurelio on the slab-sided and bland designs of today’s “future-cars” (Ferrari Luce, Audi Nuvolari, Jaguar Type 00, Tesla Cybertruck):

“I think that this points to something bigger: Nobody believes in the future any more. … Companies and the people who work there know that something has to change, but they have absolutely no idea of where things should go. There just isn’t any optimism. … So, they try to make something jarring and attention-grabbing rather than something that’s actually looking toward a better future, not just a dystopian one.”

I happen to like the design of the Nuvolari, but in general, I agree. Looking back to the cars of the 1970s through 2000s, there was clearly an optimism in technology and art that is absent from the concept #cars of today, which look like objects that defend you from the dystopia outside.

Traffic jams? Consider underground tunnels to ease congestion on the hot roads

Elon Musk "really profits from a kind of terra nullius environment, where there’s as few regulations as possible, and he can quickly move into a relatively empty space and dominate it,” Slobodian says. Just as he achieved that with SpaceX’s rockets and Starlink’s low Earth orbit satellites, so Musk doubtless saw the underground realm as territory for the taking."

We urgently need an uncongested tunnel underneath Hyde St in car-dependent #Bellingen >>

How about another fun car from Saturday? This is a Cord. They were built by Auburn in 1936-37. In addition to the great swoopy design they were known for several technical innovations: front-wheel drive, hideaway headlights, and a semi-automatic transmission.

Alas, those innovations led to reliability problems Demand dropped quickly after the initial sensation and the Cord brand faded away.

Koalas are once again experiencing population declines across Australia.

"Koala numbers crashed across Australia 100,000 years ago. Global glacial cycles are likely to blame." The koala "is now listed as endangered in Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. "

"...Recent declines have generated a similar bottleneck over a much shorter time window, due to the historical and continued removal of suitable koala habitat. This is made worse by other threats such as hunting, disease, vehicle strikes, feral dog attacks and bushfires." >>

Car drivers, when I say I'm ***terrified*** of biking on a city street where the speed limit is 50 km/h (and realistically most will still do do 60-70 km/h+) this is why.

It's also why you should slow the hell down and "it's just 10 over" doesn't fly.

An abandoned 1930s Opel Olympia lies deep within the highland forests of Scotland's Highlands


The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

For decades, it has stood here, away from public roads and in a forestry logging area. The forest has now swallowed the old track that once drove the car here, leaving it alone among the conifers.

No one knows the story of why was left here, a mystery which only adds to its beauty (in my opinion anyway 😊)

Taller hoods are a major contributor to crashes that kill pedestrians.

"More evidence is piling up that extra-tall vehicle hoods, increasingly common on American trucks and SUVs, are more dangerous to pedestrians."

"...Data from the 1990s found that a pedestrian hit by a light truck was two to three times more likely to be killed, with another study finding that light trucks were twice as likely to injure a pedestrian than a car, especially at low speed.” >>

Taking from cars and giving to people

Kerbside parking - "Drivers are using a public road to park their private cars. What would happen if authorities banned on-street parking?"

"Australia actually has an oversupply of parking, both on streets and in parking lots...In many European nations, authorities have worked to make streets less centred on cars and parking." >>
