What a perfect picture of "rational madness", or mad rationality, like the classic pictures of experimentally intoxicated spiders.
This type of car centered infrastructure planning has the character of drug abuse: you need more and more booze just to feel and function normally.

Flag?
That's a parrot!?

Confusing: there are actually two different Snelbinder bridges! Ironically commented by @bicycledutch.bsky.social in his description of the other, much more spectacular three legged bridge over a large roundabout in Naaldwijk:

"It symbolizes the desires of humankind for peace and security, human rights and development. These noble goals – the very raison d’être of the UN have been firmly enshrined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, our shared roadmap for humanity."

So, Fifa gave Trump a symbol of the UN?
;-)

Is there an explicit message of this sculpture (expressed by the donors)?

An AMOC collapse might bring you some "really nice old fashioned" winters.
(And a hundred million climate refugees, and very expensive food and some local farmers in armed revolt ... but win some lose some)

Jeg har ikke nærlæst detaljerne om ensretning af sidegader osv. It's complicated.
Jeg var ikke opmærksom på indsnævringen ved Wildersgade. Det sker pga. en højresvingsbane, måske er det den største fejl? Det ser lidt farligt ud.

Hvad kan man gøre? I hvert fald så jeg gerne 30 km/t på hele strækn.

Den alternative løsning var at lukke Torvegade for gennemkørende trafik ved Christianshavns Torv. En fin løsning for dig og mig, men det ville få mange konsekvenser mht. biltrafik. Især på Langebro og HCA Boul., men over hele området.
Det vi får er et kompromis.

Men hvad er det for et løfte, du taler om?
Jeg undrer mig også fordi den her løsning blev endeligt vedtaget i november 2024. (Jeg forsvarer den ikke, jeg undrer mig bare)

Hvad er det for et løfte, @mortenkabell.bsky.social taler om? Der var forskellige ønsker. Og der var også et forslag om drastiske begrænsninger af biltrafikken. Men man valgte - med åbne øjne - en kompromisløsning, der primært går ud over busbanerne.
Bl.a. for ikke at overbelaste Langebro.

Det sagde @tcjakobsen.bsky.social også i går. I BR.

Somebody:
"All I see is angry people on bikes."
Answer:
"When the streets feel hostile, only the bold stick around."

(this was about Vancouver, and then Victoria is praised as a much better cycling city, with AAA focus)

This story illustrates, that remotely controlled vehicles represent an unprecedented security threat: anybody with access (including enemy hackers) could block all traffic in any city, creating a total chaos in a minute.

(In Denmark, it is discussed to stop using chinese busses! For security.)

Looks good. Efficient and safe. And the top of the barrier is unusual, isn't it? A visual "fence", nicely decorated, to some extent shielding against the car lights. And maybe giving a little extra physical safety, from both sides.

Seeing is believing - and it might also help the average decision maker to become a little more "visionary".
This is why I have been pushing the idea of "model cities" that present the good examples, stories of change:

Smooth.

What a perfect example.
Would it possible to discuss this with her, on video?
