"In These Cities, Car-Free Streets Are Here To Stay

Cars? In this economy? Here’s how four cities took back miles of pavement from cars, making a popular pandemic solution into a permanent fixture.

More people do non-driving things, like walking, biking, strolling, skating and frolicking in the space normally reserved for motor vehicles." https://nextcity.org/urbanist-news/in-these-cities-car-free-streets-are-here-to-stay?utm_source=pocket-newtab

🌧🌡ROADS MAY BE ICY

🚲 If you hit ice while biking:

🧘🏿 Relax. Don't panic. Just coast. Don't pedal, brake, or turn.

🛞 Lower your tire pressure below factory standard.

🪑 Lower your bike seat so it's s easier to put your feet down.

⚙️ Ride in low gear. We want you safe.

For those of you who think people can drink and drive responsibly....
" More than 55% of people involved in serious or fatal road accidents tested positive for drugs or alcohol, according to a new study.

Impaired driving is one of the leading causes of fatal crashes in the United States. Alcohol and drugs can impair a person’s reaction time, thinking and physical ability to navigate the road." https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/14/health/drug-alcohol-driving/index.html

This is how I envision the future of transportation, driverless pods. Ideally though, they won't be shared. Given the situation with the pandemic we probably don't want to be breathing on each other. Thoughts? https://www.globalengineering.info/public-transportation/
