Keith D Johnson"If your employer paid you to ride to work, would you cycle more? Cash is a powerful incentive and it works, nudging behavior and encouraging people to make their commutes more sustainable. Belgium introduced its tax-free cycling commute allowance years ago and has recently expanded the program." https://upway.co/blogs/news/belgium-cycling-commute-allowance #UrbanPermaculture #bikes #bicycles

Peter MüllerIn the 1970s the Traffic Circulation Plan was introduced in the city of Groningen to reduce car traffic in the city center.
The 22 minute video shows that it was met with a lot of resistance, but 50 years later it is the foundation of why people love Groningen.
The plan was radical and »ridiculous«, but it worked.
»Er gaat niets boven Groningen« 🥂

The "Ridiculous" Traffic Plan That Actually Worked

Jon Sullivan@lightweight These videos are great. Last night I watched his previous video on how badly Google Maps works in the Netherlands for cycle commuters, because of its many in-built car biases.
One point that struck me was his point that separated cycle lanes are really car infrastructure, not bike infrastructure. Amsterdam's road network is instead built to concentrate car traffic on just a few of its roads, making most other roads safe to bike along without any separated cycle lanes. Separated cycle lanes are just needed to keep cyclists safe on the busy car roads. Google Maps tends to direct cyclists to these busy roads with cycle lanes instead of along the quiet streets.
The other surprise was that GoogleMaps marks the width of the roads on its maps proportional to the volume of car traffic, which means that some of the busiest streets for cyclists and pedestrians in the Netherlands are barely visible compared with nearby less travelled car-accessible roads.
