God, the alt-right messaging network are desperate to find some messaging to fight urbanism on. In my experience, good urban design is an issue that really resonates with people across the spectrum in the US. That's why they tried to spin the 15-minute city conspiracy. The sad thing is that I know they're eventually going to find one that sticks.
Conservatives want to retvrn to trvdition but want everything to be 20 minutes away and stay inside their house all day because there's nothing to do in your neighborhood
the trans of traffic
A group promoting change that will have life-saving impacts for a vulnerable community, and positive effects for society as a whole, being thwarted because reactionary dipshits can't bear the thought that saving others' lives is a worthy trade for a vanishingly small change for themselves? I guess so...
"Big Bicycle"
Turns on reds fucking suck as a pedestrian. Makes it feel so dangerous sometimes.
It is dangerous
Anyway here's a post of his about how pedophilia should be celebrated https://nitter.x86-64-unknown-linux-gnu.zip/RichardHanania/status/1728482721998258283#m
Linking a blog post supporting Hitler. I think this might be bait but it's funny as fuck so idrc
this link does not make me want to impulse buy a domain at all
sure it might save a few lives, but millions will be late
tbh if your commute is so fucking tight that you can't spare a few extra seconds at a stop light, something is wrong.
it's America, everything is wrong.
Right on red keeps traffic moving, but hte traffic is only there because a giant century long conspiracy against public transit, bikes, and pedestrians. But Idk what would even happen without right on red, because it'd fuck with the whole rest of an already not well built traffic system that was shoved in to cities it has no place being.
Wait, yanks turn when the light is red?!? What kind of backwards shit is that?!
Just remember this simple rule and you can generally predict all of America's traffic laws.
Cars>Pedestrians
Badly designed roads, badly designed traffic systems, badly designed everything means it's pretty much the only reason anything can move here. Idk how the traffic system would even function without right on red. Or, rather, it would fail to function even more than it already does. Fuck this country.
Did... nobody in usania ever thought about this?
nobody in usania ever thought
Yes.
Oh. Right.
Urban planning here is ridiculous. Every single petty land owner has to be fairly compensated at the market rate for their 30m wide parcel of land before any authority can build a road across it. If they're a minority their land just gets seized and they're given a pittance, if they're white it's a decade long process in the courts that is hilariously expensive and may or may not result in a city or state getting access to the land. It's a big part of why we can't build rail - Every single fucking landowner has to be sued for the land, in separate lawsuits, that take years and years and years.
Some states. Big YES in California. The amount of times I've almost been ran over by a motorist going right on red is beyond ridiculous.
If motorists were inconvienenced this badly there would be a big giant huff about it.
iirc most states(?) allow a right turn on a red light as it doesn't involve disturbing the flow of traffic too much
i still think it's bad to be clear, but i think that's the reasoning
The original reasoning was that letting people turn right on red saved the gas they would have burned sitting idle at the red light, it was legalized in the US during the 70s oil crisis. That reasoning is obviously nonsense.
Sounds like a crash waiting to happen
It is, because they stare left watching the oncoming traffic while turning right so they're not actually looking where they're going.
Every state allows it I think. There's a view cities that don't allow it or are outlawing it. And there's always random intersections that don't allow it.
I am a fan of Americans turning right on red on Australian (and UK) roads. Preferably when there's an oncoming roadtrain.
big bicycle
?
Came here to post exactly this lmao
transit 
Big oil not happy with 
putting bike lanes everywhere so they astroturfed shitbag transphobes?
I am zooted
As a biker I assume that every single car is actively trying to kill me at all times. This is one of those reasons.
The second time (of three) that I was hit by a car was because of right turn on red. Drivers go right while staring left, it's an obvious recipe for danger.
The other two times were drivers straight up not seeing me despite me being basically directly in front of them though. One did a left turn into me while I was in the opposing bike lane, the other did a right turn into me while I was crossing a crosswalk with the walk signal
I remember when I was first learning how to drive and was driving with an instructor...almost plowed into some people in a crosswalk while attempting to turn right on red (instructor saw it coming and used the instructor brake pedal before I even initiated the turn). Scared me shitless, and you best believe I learned my lesson.
But this is an easily predictable outcome. You've got a situation where the person turning right is going to be looking 180° in the opposite direction to the pedestrians/cyclists crossing to their right because the driver doesn't want someone to plow into them. Completely stupid thing to allow, especially in cities.
How can I make this about me? Or better yet, the people I hate?
gotta make sure i get my transphobic talking points in there or else i'll lose the culture war!
oncoming traffic turning right is the most dangerous thing in the world to cyclist.
controlled intersection, random sidestreets, a fucking driveway. it's all the same. oncoming traffic will turn right across you. i've had so, so, so, so many close calls.
stay vigilant and safe out there everyone. if you have a side road to your right* definitely watch oncoming traffic up to your left* to see what they're doing.
yes it's exactly like that in that people want him to stop doing stupid shit because it's killing peope

My preschooler child can understand that they need to watch out for and be careful around smaller children on the playground. These people are just bloodthirsty assholes.
