And the obligatory Not Just Bikes: https://youtu.be/Ra_0DgnJ1uQ
I get it, you gotta go back for seconds… sometimes even thirds!
Why are they trying to kill me? For eating a meal, a succulent Chinese meal?
Why when I see a Volkswagen scirocco is always driven 2-3 times over the speed limit? It’s 3 am where the fuck you’re so hurry to go? “Oh I’m late for sleep, better drive 100 in a 40 risking killing someone”
This is why I’m convinced we need to start mechanically speed-limiting cars. We do it for ebikes, but god forbid we do it for vehicles 100x heavier. No, your 4000lb vehicle does not need to go 0-60 in 5 seconds just to get you to work everyday.
I’m all for this but there are too many car nuts and they all would just get around it somehow.
@Landsharkgun @Moonrise2473 With solid PT there shouldn’t be a reason for a private passenger vehicle to travel faster than 40kmph
I have no idea how that keeps happening. But eitherway, bollards are the solution (also closing down the road). https://www.google.com/maps/place/Royal+Phoenix+Chinese+Restaurant/@53.7490938,-2.3905702,126a,35y,210.48h,45t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x487b98d2cee0c6c3:0x6781aa673871b8cf!8m2!3d53.748291!4d-2.3917403!16s%2Fg%2F1td64vyh?entry=ttu

Looking at the Street View, it’s a mini roundabout, with barely any space. A mini roundabout has no stop signs. There’s building in the corner that might be blocking the view of other cars. And I’m pretty sure no one follows the speed limit.
Extremely poor road design. That is a simple T-intersection and it should be a 3-way stop, nothing more. A roundabout is completely inappropriate there.
