It is the drivers responsibility to ensure the intersection is clear of cars and pedestrians before proceeding. The green light doesn't immediately mean go, they may be waiting for a pedestrian to finish crossing or a car to clear after running a red.
It isn't illegal to go under the limit. If you were unsure of the timing of the 40 zone, the safe thing would be to just do 40 anyway. I agree its still not a great system, my area typically has a 40 sign with yellow lights that flash during times the 50 zone drops to a 40. It'd be better to just always have it be a 40 zone.
Ticketing people for going under the limit is not wise. The biggest issue is due to inclement weather. We don't want people driving faster than is safe for conditions due to fear of a ticket.
At no point did the article claim a desire to ban cars, we are just asking cars to go the posted limit. The idea that hating car dependancy is classist and racist is absurd. Providing free public transit can be one of the most effective ways to lift people up in society. Plenty of people would use their electric scooter in the winter. Tons of people have fun all winter in cold conditions riding snow mobiles, the same gear that works for them could keep a scooter rider warm. The bigger issue for scooter riders is our cities refuse to maintain safe infrastructure for them.
Both is good, because the way our streets are designed are both dangerous and expensive. Narrowing that 40 zone by the school can remove excess road space that now doesn't need to be maintained, cleaned, plowed, or salted. The excess space could be used by school, have trees planted, or be used for alternative transport like transit or bikes.
The roads are currently designed to prioritize driver throughput and provide "wiggle room" for driver error, often at the expense of people outside of the vehicle. Many of the concepts that engineers use to make highways safe were applied to city streets, which in hindsight maybe we don't want our city streets to be designed like highways.
Didn't doug run after his brother? I'm not 100% familiar with Torontos political history i just remember something about doug not winning mayor of Toronto.
To be fair he didn't really offer. He threw around the term buck a beer a couple times but booze has actually been increasing in price since hes been elected.
Half the reason we are in this mess is Toronto was too smart to elect Doug mayor and now instead the whole province gets to deal with him. He also gets to get revenge on Toronto by demolishing bike lanes.
We literally do not have enough law enforcement to properly enforce traffic laws. It is part of why average speeds have crept up to 10-20 over the limit. In fact enforcing traffic laws was kinda just something that was thrown at the police when cars were invented and we've never really stopped to think about it since.
Yea we've avoided the mass privatization of speed cameras so far and the vast majority of the fines goes into the city municipal budget, where it can be spent pretty much anywhere but often is spent on the roads themselves.
This makes it sound a lot more attainable. If Doug actually cared about this goal instead of just pretending to care, Ontario could come in below its goal.
We still need to ask why so we can get at the root of the problem. Shrugging and subsidizing is just telling galen weston "keep increasing your prices, and we'll start throwing tax dollars at you."
The smoker lungs may have had more tar build up and scarring, you cant necessarily visually see the lead and other heavy metals from vaping on the vapers lungs, especially if those are entering the bloodstream and being distributed throughout the body.
If you've got a good source of dabs, abandon the carts and get a concentrate vape like the pax 3 with concentrate adapter. The carts often have cheap heating elements with lots of nasty stuff contaminating them.
Whenever his milk starts going off at home, he locks it up and brings it to the office to see how long people will respect the locks before throwing away rotten milk.
Drivers in the US would start treating that middle light as go and we'd be right back to square one
