There is speculation that the introduction of driverless cars could lead to jaywalking laws in the UK

65% of Britons would oppose making jaywalking a minor offence, including 41% "strongly opposed"

Only 24% are would support such rules

Beneath Berlin's Potsdamer Platz, an overlooked retail strip has been reborn as a bicycle parking facility and public passage connecting users to the S-Bahn station. Modest in scale but rich in possibilities, it integrates seamlessly into the revitalised entertainment, commercial and office centre.🧵

So proud of Russell, graduate of our 2025 BikeWalkKC Community Transportation Academy!
Every kid in Kansas City deserves to walk to school safely. During the State of the City address, Mayor Lucas highlighted Russell Dorn, a 6th grader from the Center School District, who came before City Council to support an ordinance eliminating right turns on red in school zones.

Historic preservation, sadly, seems all often to be laundering bigotry.

Beefier barrier for old slip lane at Gillham/linwood. (Drivers kept moving the old barrier out of their way)

I hear from folks all the time who tell me e-bikes keep them riding another 10 years longer than they otherwise would, or help them get around town when they are no longer able to drive. Especially with our limited bus system.

It's nice seeing the hardscapes being installed along SW Blvd for the new multi-use pedestrian-bicycle path. This should make riding a bicycle or walking much safer and more pleasant. Currently it's like riding a bicycle on a highway. Not fun

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.
