@roadguyrob Are you considering Mastodon too? That seems to be where folks are “flocking” to, if you will.

Never thought I'd suggest Facebook, but here we are!

@JenMontgomery84 When the one bicyclist came by, I stepped aside for her.

But I've got an issue with the host @roadguyrob. He sits on the shoulder to demonstrate the British Army's solution to slow down the Nazi Army. The demonstration could've been conducted with him sitting on the sidewalk instead of the shoulder of the road.

Great video. That city could've placed greenery to change the traffic flow and separate vehicles from bicyclists and pedestrians. But of course money likely stood in the way of that.

@DFlashmann I tried to, but got frustrated at how small of a "box" they put me in.
(Played SimCity 4 modded with NAM since '03. My region was 20 million all through low-density suburban sprawl lol)

In light of Twitter's increasingly unstable future, I invite you to meet me over at @Reddit -- at least until we figure out where our new discussion place will be.

I can't in good conscience support an 80-hour work week. Suggestions where we could move our road discussion?

@GabeTeranOxnard That's fantastic!
I do still want to cover something in Oxnard sometime. Any traffic calming projects (working on that topic at the moment).

@roadguyrob Both of my daughters (they are in 5th and 2nd grade) now say things like "Speed Limit 45....or you may get a ticket!" 👍🏾🙂
English

Noticed my daughter rewatching a @roadguyrob episode we'd seen a few months ago.
Asked her about it & she said she wanted to brush up on the meanings behind the different colors of road signs. 😎

@ChrisPasley2 They wouldn't let me wear an orange vest. So, an orange shirt had to suffice. Good eye!
English


was NOT expecting to see @roadguyrob on a random episode of america says tonight (or if that wasn't him, an incredible doppelganger in both face and voice — who was also wearing orange)

@JenMontgomery84 @notjustbikes @CityBeautifulYT The current plan is a bit disappointing. Too much parking in the middle (versus on the edges by the freeways). Blocks are too big to feel like a walkable "urban village." Not nearly enough density.
Utah has a chance to do something BIG. They should do something BIG.

@SYCAMOREGRAD @controlcityfrk What interchange is that? Those are some interesting "ghost ramps."
English

Demolish old pedestrian bridge: Okay.
Neighbors fight to **STOP** rebuilding it: HUH?

@twcau @roadguyrob 10 lanes....that's a lil bonkers, but i guess everything in Texas is bigger!
English

@chrismarion100 I'm looking all over town on Google Maps and can't find that corner. Too many curvy roads, lol!
That's certainly a cheap way to indicate the road curves (as opposed to installing proper chevron signs). I'd think it would be a temporary fix, but... since 2018, you say? Wow.

@stevenathan320 Land use: US suburbs use a network of increasingly higher-speed collectors/arterial roads to operate (We MUST STOP ignoring pedestrians in our designs)
But wishing suburbs & major collectors would "go away" (& teasing tools to improve xwalks) is not problem-solving!

@roadguyrob Rob really enjoy your YouTube channel. Have you seen this video?

What do you think of European methods of traffic safety?

So... congratulations on the west getting Interstates 50 and 60, I guess? 🤷♂️ #somethingwronghere
