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.
-
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.
-
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.

Playing factorio has given me a deeper appreciation of how much adding lanes doesn't help traffic.
Adding an extra conveyor belt to your factory line won't help you process materials any faster. You have to add more processing elements, widening the belt lines does absolutely nothing!
Why's there no one on the beach in the "problem" pic? Kinda seems like one was taken in the slow season and the other was taken in peak rush hour of the busy season.
Completely agree, that's something I noticed as well. Seems like an apples-to-oranges comparison.
Does it matter? It didn't solve traffic so adding the lanes did nothing
Yeah, I think it matters. I don't think inaccurate memes as a form of propaganda are acceptable regardless of whether or not I agree with the original topic. There are plenty of stats, studies, and examples that show the benefits of walkable cities and public transportation. This meme shows a not so busy road and a very busy road with more lanes, the only thing that can be inferred from it is that the pictures were taken on different days, nothing else.
I don't think it really matters how busy it was before, because the road clearly didn't solve the problem and now there's just as much congestion as there could've been on a busy day before, but with more pollution.
My point stands, adding lanes did nothing
No it doesn't lol. You have no idea what adding lanes did or didn't do, because all this is is a single still image. That's my point.
Someone on here posted the picture of a toll road which again, functions very differently to a motorway, so the comparison is unfair
Please don't say the F word around me; I need to sleep tonight :')
City Skylines is where i learned plentiful with so much fun. Soon City Skylines 2 will be released with even more enhancement/ improvements.
I cant wait to buy every single feature as an overpriced dlc.
Does learning from games like city skylines make you infuriated when you see real life examples of poor layouts and planning?
