WIE LANGE TOLERIEREN WIR DAS NOCH?

Auf Österreichs Straßen sterben Menschen im Straßenverkehr. Dabei sind Fußgänger_innen und Radfahrende die häufigsten Opfer.

Die Kosten des Autoverkehrs sind nicht nur Errichtung und Instandhaltung von Straßen, sondern auch Schäden durch Lärm, Abgase, Feinstaub, Umweltzerstörung usw.

Der Auto- und Lkw-Verkehr kostet aber vor allem Existenzen, Menschenleben.

Wie lange wollen wir das noch tolerieren?

Wir werden diese Grafik des @vcoe_mobilitaet_mit_zukunft einmal monatlich posten.
Bitte teil es.

ÖAMTC über die Zukunft der Möbilität 😂😂😂
Das ist ja genauso absurd, als würde...

A) die NRA über die Zukunft der sicheren Schule
B) die Sumsi-Post über die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Bankenkrisen
C) Philipp Morris über die Folgen des Rauchens oder
D) ...X über Y schreiben?

Welcher absurde Vergleich gefällt dir und welcher fällt dir dazu noch ein?

In #Bucharest old town beautiful grand buildings grace the Calea Victoriei. On #carfree Saturdays, many people walk on the street, there is no car traffic and the general atmosphere is calm and relaxed, for families with strollers as well as escooters. #bucuresti #carfreecities #carfreeday #romania

Another shot of Americans LOVING a #walkable city. Unfortunately, it's not a real city. How about we build our real cities this way?

‘People are proud of this green spirit of ours’: how a small Spanish city rejected cars

Decades ago, when many other European cities were building more road capacity, Vitoria-Gasteiz took a very different path

Grest work in Paris to tax these useless monstrosity monster SUVs. We need to ban these things from coming to Europe.
#climate #stopSUVs #carfreecities

Paris is saying ‘non’ to a US-style hellscape of supersized cars – and so should the rest of Europe

From emissions to road deaths, the trend for ever-bigger SUVs is a disaster. We need regulation to turn the car industry back to smaller vehicles

We get a free newspaper every week (Delft op zondag) with a comparison column "back in the day -today" and I find it horrifying to imagine living in this beautiful city during car-centric times. #carfreecities

(What you can't see in the Delft today picture is that between the trees are, besides bike parking, tables and chairs from the local restaurants and pubs. Also, some cars with a permit can still drive there, mostly to deliver to the local shops in the morning)
