They put a Give Way sign in the middle of the road at a T junction near us - I would imagine after complaints of aggressive drivers cutting the corner as they turned in. It was knocked down within a day, replaced and knocked down again three days later. Should have put a traffic island in.

This makes me so angry

If a driver hits it, then it’s doing its job.

If you think this is a first, you should duck into Victoria, BC's bike lane discourse as led by the "Driver's Association" and you may realize you're about six years too late.

Narrator: it was not, in fact, a first. (People been saying stupid shit like this in my home town for years)

WHO calls them “road diets?” Is this lady, in fact, drunk?

She's the wingnut who went around City Heights with Nick Shirley harassing Somali immigrants. I was very disappointed when Scott Lewis platformed and normalized her on the Voice of San Diego podcast.

So we should build traffic infrastructure to accommodate drunk drivers? What is this person smoking? (While driving!)

“Who will think of the drunk drivers?”

Any Reichert fucking suuuuuucks; getting her to block me on Twitter a few years ago by calling her out constantly was a very proud moment in my waning days on that hell site

Maybe drivers will finally slow the fuck down. Maybe they'll even think twice before getting behind the wheel after drinking.

Peak entitlement whilst saying the quiet part out loud.

Like removing the protective glass from a bank because the bank robber’s bullet bounced off and hit them.

one of the most fundamental ideological differences i have with the carbrained is that i think that the priorities of all road design should be primarily to protect human life, but secondarily to have material consequences for reckless behavior. if you're driving drunk, your car SHOULD get totalled

Wait: I thought that making drunk drivers self-identify by smashing harmlessly into concrete barriers instead of innocent bystanders was actually sort of a good idea??? Weird to see the “gotta protect them drunk drivers“ contingent coming on strong…

Hurting the feelings of someone in a steel cage weighing thousands of pounds and drunk no less has more weight than people walking or biking who could be hit by the drunk.

My only problem with this median island is that it doesn’t have any three-foot-high concrete bollards on it.

It is unfortunately *very much* not a first

Drunk drivers vote at a rate comparable to the elderly, apparently

So top decile's over ten drinks a day, and ninth is still higher than two a day.

Won't someone PLEASE think of the drunk drivers?!

These should have steel bollards surrounding them

Ahh, your comment reads as you yourself calling ped refuge islands ineffective and a waste of money.

no they don't think of vulnerable road users at all

Do people know they're not supposed to drive drunk?

GOOD.

I like the idea they're dangerous because they're working as intended

"Oh, you want to BAN MURDER just so all MURDERERS have to go to JAIL? What about the good Christian murderers?"
