😀🚲#trafficEngineers preventing any interventions at a crosswalk because they counted cars and measured their speeds and the cars didn't want it to be safe. 😞 Being ruled by cars is the stupidest possible system of government.
#30daysOfBiking I double dog dare any #trafficEngineers to hit one of these sunken drain grates at 20mph #BikeTooter #pdxBikes
$30M design for some #BusLanes on #e82ndAve 😒 #trafficEngineers, can we just give the kids some red paint?
@kimu there's enough space that they could park outside the bike lane and cars could still go by at twice the posted speed. 🤡 #trafficEngineers keep trying to prove that it's not a real profession.
The problem with self-driving cars isn't letting a computer drive a car so much as it is letting billionaires drive your government. #trafficEngineers who let the manuals make the decisions might as well let cars design the city.
How Self-Driving Cars will Destroy Cities (and what to do about it)
#triMet board member calls out #Oregon state #transportation dept #trafficEngineers for clinging to disproven pseudoscience Level of Service aka V/C in #E82ndAve planning. #InducedDemand couched in the "safety" concerns about cars backing-up on the freeway offramps. #Portland metro will never be free of this braindead worship of the highway manual until we remove that authority from ODOT. #ODOTGTFOpdx
ODOT Called Out for Putting Cars Over People
RE: https://kolektiva.social/@igd_news/115996952466436740
#tacticalUrbanism popup #roundabouts -- when people come together in public space outside of their cars, we see the same patterns over and over. Why is this completely unlike the #SafeStreets projects proposed by #trafficEngineers? (& shelved pending $30m+ budgets 💸) It's not blinkinlights on 5-lane #stroads, it's impediments to platoons of SUVs rolling through at speed (which is exactly what the "traffic model" thinking tries to preserve at all costs.) #acab #AbolishICE #VisionZero #BanCars
Loads of excellent public testimony in favor of #BusLanes on #e82ndAve #Portland (Note the comparison to Foster Rd, which several years ago received a road diet while the furniture salesman posted ~"the end is nigh" on the front of his store for 2yrs leading up to it 😆 ) #TriMet #transit #InducedDemand #trafficEngineers #ODOTGTFOpdx
82nd Ave Transit Project: Policy & Budget Meeting 1/16/2026
#trafficEngineers won't rest until the earth is a smoking husk, still holding the delusion that drivers would ever learn to zipper-merge or think ahead and cooperate in the most basic kindergarten way.

One could probably take the sidewalk going the other way, but more slowly and/or at more risk of drivers pulling in and out without expecting anyone to be zipping through on the sidewalk. Would be nice if #trafficEngineers had some infrastructure ideas besides painting a bike lane between two truck lanes. #BarburBlvd #odotGTFOpdx
