ATLDOT is giving pedestrians more lead time when entering crosswalks at 25 new traffic signals across the city. Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPIs) increase the visibility of pedestrians, meaning fewer conflicts between people in crosswalks and turning motorists. #VisionZeroATL
I just want a rock
We’re assured that Americans “love” driving, “choose” to drive everywhere. Then why is the state so worried that many of us would like alternatives that they won’t allow them to be studied or included in planning? This is state capture by the auto industry.

In the 1980s-90s, GDOT widened Atlanta's Downtown Connector from 6 through-lanes to 12, then ultimately to 14. But it's still congested. It's tempting to focus on relieving this congestion or even hiding it from view. But don't. Instead focus on building less car-centric places.

Georgia is particularly well-poised to reduce carbon pollution through better urban planning ("better" meaning: less car dependent, more walkable), potentially eliminating 295 kg of CO2 per capita, annually, through land-use reform, per a recent analysis. rmi.org/why-state-land…
Having done my best to piss off a lot of people on this website one thing that stands out is how people who are accustomed to driving their car everywhere have never even really given car culture any thought. Like, no part of it.
Why trams are the best ➡️ Reduces traffic by carrying more passengers per unit of space ➡️ Produces less pollution and are more energy-efficient per passenger ➡️ Encourages more active lifestyles ➡️ Objectively looks cool ➡️ Are threatening to car manufacturers (see US history)
Naturalizar la ciudad es una urgencia de salud pública.
It's almost like local and state governments need to step in and induce housing construction that's affordable -- and that's also building in walkable/bikeable/transit-focused formats so that every trip doesn't require a car. npr.org/2024/04/23/124…
It's pretty simple: Cities that want more people to bike shouldn't force cyclists to ride alongside fast cars. "Substantial speed differentials between bikes and motor vehicles are a barrier to bike riding." doi.org/10.1016/j.jth.…
It turns out that Atlanta's early adoption of automobiles and its racist housing practices had a correlation in the 1920's. Fascinating research from Laura Drummond. tumblr.com/atlurbanist/74…
This is a structural issue not an individual one, it is nearly impossible to navigate in the United States without a car outside of urban areas

@HCLPO I’m pretty sure there’s a deliberate conspiracy among right-wing nut jobs to misunderstand the entire concept of the 15-minute city.
@HCLPO you go to your job 30 minutes away? you could drive if you want I guess but hopefully there would be better options like a bus or train
@HCLPO You understand that a 15-minute city doesn't mean you're banned from taking trips longer than 15 minutes, right?
This is a good example of how a lot of people who oppose various elements of urbanism have literally never met or chatted with an urbanist. Not a single person I know in this field would response with "mental gymnastics," or takes "15 minutes" literally here.
When arguing with a 15 minute city advocate, ask them “What happens if I get the opportunity of a lifetime…my dream job, 30 minutes away by car?” The mental gymnastics that ensue demonstrate how you just can’t plan and control something as complex as human society.

It should be a lot easier for young Americans to travel affordably, especially domestically. This would be possible if we had a larger network of hostels. There’s some in big cities but we need them around national parks and other scenic destinations. I would use them!
