@notjustbikes Doesn't this picture have it all? Public trasit, US & EU cars and the point!
Elias Mårtenson@stux @notjustbikes How are those cars even allowed? Is this in Belgium or Netherlands?
@loke @notjustbikes I have no clue!
This seems like amsterdam, but it could be any other larger city
cessieIt's Rotterdam :)

parkeren op zijn Rotterdams... I lived in R'dam for 9 years, car drivers there are a bit crazy, compared to other parts of Randstad...
it's of course not allowed, surely police should be there any minute. And the owner might have to pay a fine proportional to their income (at least for certain kinds of "hightway code" breaking). In R'dam the fine for illegal parking is €150, I gather.
Few more such violations and the car might get confiscated, as presenting danger to the public.

Some cities have experimented with giving transport drivers the ability to issue citations, but the possibility of an encounter with an aggressive owner means you pretty much have to leave that to trained law enforcement.

mbpaz@bzdev @pieist @dimpase @cessie @stux @loke @notjustbikes Trams are basically single car trains. Very strong, rigid underframe and steel bumpers. The one on the photo is, I think, a 4-axle Schindler from the 1950s and weighs over 12 tons empty.
On the other side of the ring we have a large RAM pickup truck, weight about 2.5 tons, made of air, plastic, and sheet metal.
Just let the kleine Schindler and physics do their work.
