Mastodawn

Amsterdam gaat #metro deels #ontvlechten :-( Reizigers moeten vaker overstappen omdat GVB blijkbaar geen goede dienstregeling kan maken. https://www.amsterdam.nl/nieuws/nieuwsoverzicht/nieuw-metronetwerk/?utm_campaign=ga-nieuwsartikel&utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social-owned&utm_content=nieuw_metronetwerk

En ja! Het metronet van Amsterdam wordt ontvlochten volgens scenario 1.

Helaas betekent het concreet nog weinig vooruitgang op korte termijn. Niet echt een verbetering qua frequentie bijvoorbeeld.

Sommige verliezen er op omdat ze moeten overstappen (want dat hoort bij #ontvlechten).

Maar het maakt automatisering beter mogelijk (hoewel het allang op de ontvlochten Noordzuidlijn kan) en hopelijk minder verstoringen...

Ook positief, verlengen van tram 19 nu in beeld!

@daihard @gcvsa @ascentale can't agree enough on sharing your routes, your experiences, your advocacy and knowledge of biking around your city or town. Disagree on 22ft being a code requirement for a bus route, I don't care what #trafficEngineers say, a bus will literally fit between two steel+concrete #bollards if there is an 8.5ft gap, and you can add a retractable bollard between or 📸 to make a "bus gate" that *only* a bus can go through. #FuckCars #BanCars #ontvlechten #TacticalUrbanism

@carmenbianca isn't about 90% of the NL bikeway network actually just streets which have had car traffic reduced and tamed, e.g. by simple modal filters, like bollards that divert car traffic back to main roads? The #ontvlechten, or separating routes for cars from bikes, makes driving slightly less convenient, but if enough people bike/bus, you have less congestion despite reduced number of car lanes. Car users have access, but not in five redundant ways and to the exclusion of all others.

"This is the standard method that the Netherlands uses to prevent people from driving through a neighborhood, and they make the streets safer and more enjoyable for everyone who lives there."

Also basically the only solution to traffic, and will still be the answer, no matter how much time we waste wishing for some other option.

@BrentToderian ... stop spending all of the city's available space, money, and TIME on a futile attempt to move moar cars to the next red light based on the fake science and fever dreams of #trafficEngineers. #geometryHatesCars #carsRuinCities #BanCars from at least one (1) connected network of low-stress bikeways, #ontvlechten, delete centerlines from #IncompleteStreets -> #EdgeLaneRoads #busLanes #tacticalUrbanism #StrongTowns
