Based on this chart, the US should not be spending a single penny on widening highways or building new ones. We cannot even maintain the roads we have. Boston metro area is #3 for best maintained roads. How bad is the rest of the country?!

"Did ThE CoMmUniTy ask for bike lanes?"
The city definitely voted for climate action, less pollution, and better health, and bike lanes are one of the cheapest and most effective ways to advance all of those objectives.

Mel KC1VHXThe entrance to The Museum of Science car park is lethal. Confused drivers turning across the path of amateur blue bike cyclists and young people looking at the museum rather than their safety. The entrance and the people flow need urgent remodeling. The safety of a cyclist should not rely on a driver spotting you in a wing mirror.

@streetsblogmass I'm actually glad none of these went anywhere as they were pretty weak on truly transforming Morrissey Blvd into a calm park-like street. It really needs many fewer travel lanes, many more trees, and high quality facilities for walking and bicycling.
StreetsblogMASSSince 2015, the Commonwealth has attempted to initiate three separate planning efforts to redesign Morrissey Boulevard along Dorchester's waterfront. None of them have gone anywhere:

More cities in #France install "Méduse" anti-noise radars, which have 4 microphones, and a camera to automatically ticket vehicles that exceed a certain number of decibels
La Baule. Un radar antibruit sur le front de mer pour faire la chasse aux véhicules trop bruyants | Presse Océan
Un premier radar de type Méduse entre en service sur le boulevard de mer à titre d’expérimentation. D’autres seront installés en 2023 et ils verbaliseront les véhicules aux sonorités hors normes.
#Quebec now has a traffic light that only turns green for safe drivers.
How does it work? The light in the school zone—in a car-dependent suburb—is by default red. When a car is driving at 30 km/h (18 mph) or under, it turns green.
