stepanCar free cities should be the future.
The bottom does not adress the top question.
You can’t really have a firetruck train unless you build every single building within spitting distance of the train station and you can strap the firefighting equipment to a bike.
There are reasonable solutions to this question but this meme does not provide any of them.
This feels more like a parody of a fuckcars poster.
IMO the meme is mocking those who think vehicles are only car-shaped objects, in light of cities imposing restrictions on personal motor vehicle use in built up areas
I doubt it has anything to do with emergency services being restricted to the vehicles shown lol…
tsonfeirMeme doesn’t even consider the horse!
I agree, emergency vehicles could still service a lot of pedestrian and cycle access areas if they are designed for it. Many pedestrian areas even allow delivery vehicles in at slow speeds to some businesses and vehicles for garbage, trailers for renovations and other access could be permited as needed.
Things like renovating a roof or delivering an industrial fridge to a restaurant often still require truck access, we just aren’t gonna let everyone drive a truck to the front door just to buy a dozen cookies.
“Only allow” implies that either way emergency vehicles are allowed. In no reading of the meme were emergency vehicles ever banned.
In that case the meme is just incoherent. Top part is entirely unrelated to the bottom and the title in unrelated to the meme. It’s just bright colors on a screen at that point.
I’m sorry your education seems to have failed you so thoroughly.
Ooh we can just do insults instead of arguments. People like you are too retarded to make proper memes and it is hurting the movement because it makes everyone else look like mentally ill failsons that are just bitter that they can’t get their shit together enough to get a job and afford car.
Normal people that go outside and have sex are going to look at the meme and think “how can there be emergency vehicles if there are no roads for them to drive on?” And then they are going to see Rick fucking sanches gesturing at a box bike like it’s a solution to that problem.
Then they are going to see your fucking ass making grammatical arguments against an doing the smug educate yourself routine reserved for Karens everywhere. The fucking flair you send up when you dont care if you are right or not, you just want to be smug about something.
You coulda just re-read the meme a little slower, but you instead wrote three paragraphs calling me the parasocial one. Reflect on that.
At no point did I call you parasocial. I called you a retard that is contributing to car culture by arguing against cars like a retard.
It’s a parody if you’re so defensive you misunderstand the difference between a personal vehicle and a firetruck, I suppose.
When the big street near me turns pedestrian there’s always bollard access for delivery vehicles to all the shops. They aren’t the huge, permanent kind but the sorta that a firetruck or ambulance could absolutely plow right through. Traffic going perpendicular is slow enough that they don’t need to be there for safety so it works super well.
Basically every argument against the idea that maybe cars don’t need to be on every single street requires an astounding level of ignorance and an equal amount of desire to not change that lack of knowledge. Just let it happen, it’s ok.
I meant emergency vehicles + trams and bikes dude
ExcrubulentEmergency vehicles are clearly mentioned in the top text, that person just misunderstood it and now can’t take the L.
Damn…
Just imagine the speed that firetrucks will be able to weave through cities when there are no stupid fucking cars. On top of the improved air quality, this will save countless lives.
The goal is generally that the road capacity and car speed will shrink as car use shrinks but things will also be closer together because there isn’t 10 lane roads and parking that spaces everything out. Ideally things will even out and stay roughly the same as now.

Seeing a firetruck or ambulance go down an nyc street at 5 miles an hour is disgusting. It it were a wide foot/bike path and an alert system installed, pedestrians and bike riders would be able to clear the way faster than the oversized svu carrying two people.
