It’s weird how when the Department of Transportation is using the bike lane, they give themselves an entire car lane for protection.

How many people do you need to install the poles?

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 41 points 7 months ago

They seem to have four people working on poles, two more prepping/measuring, one person providing assistance between groups and one other person providing traffic safety and moving the generator.

Certainly on person could install these poles but it wouldn't be as safe and not nearly as quick.

Oh my god, a voice of reason. This is the fuck cars subreddit, why are people recommending solo unauthorised work on a public road. Traffic control and enough people to be noticed is essential for road work. Or do it at 3am.

Three fewer than if you were installing Austrians.

This feels like a reference I'm not German enough to understand.

That many people would sure help if you have two miles off poles to install.

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
