Tiny cars in the bike lane - mobility aid or menace? We dig into why this is so complicated, and where these quirky cars fit in our cities.

Using the state's total institutional disregard for pedestrian safety to fight its frivolous fascism is at once ironic and depressing.

6. A judge ruled that officers had “no probable cause” to arrest the man after Suarez’s attorney pointed out that crosswalks are not included in the state’s definition of traffic devices. Moreover, courts have repeatedly ruled that sidewalk chalk is protected First Amendment speech, not graffiti.

Part 3 of a look at Annecy's new plan to manage traffic, wherein I am bewildered by French municipal government, we revisit some of our favorite planning conspiracies, and we learn which city rioted over traffic calming.

La récente #piétonnisation des rues d' #Annecy suscite un certain scepticisme, mais Annecy lutte depuis des décennies contre les voitures envahissantes. J’ai fait une petite promenade et visité des endroits qui étaient encore bondées de voitures il n'y a pas si longtemps. 🧵

Je passe beaucoup trop de temps à réfléchir à un plan de circulation (en anglais mais il y a des sous-titres). #Annecy

Guillotine historique à la Maison Tavel à Genève.
Historic guillotine in the center of a history museum gallery room Guillotine Jean-François Nicolas Boiteux (1769 - Geneva, 1850) Geneva, 1799 Oak, fir for reconstituted uprights, steel, lead This rare example of a guillotine, whose few preserved original elements have been incorporated into this early 20th century restoration, recalls Geneva's annexation to France from 1798 to 1814. Established as the prefecture of the Léman department, the city found itself endowed with this macabre apparatus, installed by revolutionary France as a less painful means of executing the condemned. Contemporaries of this machine, invented by surgeon Antoine Louis and defended by French politician Guillotin, after whom it was named, saw it as an improvement. Its use declined drastically when Geneva joined the Swiss Confederation in 1815, but continued until 1862. The death penalty was abolished in Geneva in 1871, that is, 110 years before France. Transferred by the Department of Justice and Police of the State of Geneva, 1915. Inv. VG 0001-6" Historic guillotine in history museum gallery room. A basket to catch heads is included.

I was surprised to see this little guy coming at me on the bike path, but I have seen several since, and learned they are not uncommon in the Netherlands.
A tiny car approaches in the oncoming lane of a bike path.
