I was quite disappointed with the lack of post apocalyptic action there. No people on fire or severed limbs. Not so much as a lynched DoI manager Ah, but it’s not fully open yet. Go back when the traffic is using it from all directions and you’ll be in hospital within moments 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the part about the relationship with cars going to change is interesting. Could the promenade's design be looking towards a no car environment, meaning pedestrians, cyclists and trams only, ultimately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time it is finished cars will be driving themselves anyway, so a lot of the discussions about parking and who has right of way are irrelevenat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems scared that people might have to actually concentrate and put some thought into their driving. 🤡 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems scared that people might have to actually concentrate and put some thought into their driving. 🤡 And quite right too. As I keep on having to point out, it's not the purpose of road design to provide exciting driving for the very best drivers (or those who think they are). It's so absolute idiots can get from A to B without killing themselves or anyone else. Driving is mainly done as an automatic skill, with thinking needed for interactions with other road users, so forcing people to think about how they interact with the road structure as well will actually create more accidents. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
