  • In Japan is common for a main street in a shopping district to be closed for vehicular traffic on Weekends.

    However it's pretty much only the main street that gets closed.

    Japanese law also puts more responsibility for the driver of the bigger vehicle to avoid an accident as well. So streets where vehicular traffic are allowed are somewhat chill as well.

  • My 510 bus is finally on time, after it's take over by kinetic.

    It's unfortunate that the route got re-tendered out to a bigger operator, but when the previous business was doing a crap job, it's good riddance.

  • Kind of. EBike batteries store more energy and have more cells than a laptop battery. So there is more points of failure, and when it fails it fails massively.

    However if a quality battery and charger is in use, then the safety protections should kick in before there is a fire. But what is stopping me from putting in the Aliexpress UltraHouseFire batteries in my bike though.

  • There's also been a lot of substandard materials used by DoT contractors post Covid, which means that the project supervisors also really have to keep an eye on things as well

    However all the good regional supervisors at the DoT have gone into consultancy, leaving their regional offices staffed with a lot of graduates.

    I'm also going to say that intersection design is also a bigger factor than road surfaces. Especially as a now banned optical illusion causing intersection style is still rife across the regions. Drivers on the side road think that the intersection is a roundabout. But in fact they need to yield to the main road.

    The Chiltern quadruple fatality was caused at one such intersection, and it's quite easy to see how the intersection can be perceived as a roundabout.

    We're not gonna have the resources to replace every intersection. However it's almost negligent leaving that style of intersection on the main alternative route into Chiltern.
