Expect when it comes to subsidizing private motor vehicle roads and parking. Then suddenly a bunch of fiscal conservatives can’t see part the windshield.

So the neat thing about ambulances, and other emergency vehicles, is they have flashing lights AND sierns to let people know they are there.
Is this Canada or HomeAssistant?
My toddler disagrees.

I don’t know what to tell you, Kingston adopted vision zero in 2019, and deaths have gone up since.
No criminal, civil, or highway traffic act charges are ever laid against drivers. Including for a driver that plowed through a child in a school zone cross walk infront of a school.
Not in Fake Kingston, Ontario.
We even have signs that say “pedestrians yield to vehicles” around town.

There are a lot of ways to give clear cues to all road users on what to do, and how to do it, without relying on signage. Traffic lights in particular are extremely low throughput; their primary advantage is allowing vehicles to drive really fast between intersections, so they are great for roads/highways but not for streets.

Nouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.worldto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•*Cars don't create congestion"English121·17 days agoI’m unironically all for removing stop signs, traffic lights, and speed limits. If you build streets and roads properly, you don’t need those, frequently ignored, control devices.
It would remove gridlock, but not necessarily congestion.
Trials like these can lead to permanent car free streets. Worked in Montréal for all the summer streets.
