Comment on America is fucked
curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoThere is no curb on many of these streets to go onto, there are bollards to protect pedestrians preventing that.
Its a design problem combined with a congestion problem, that was the reason for the congestion relief toll.

That’s a good point and a spelling correction to boot 😂.
I did add an edit that we also have bicycles / motorcycles with paramedics if speed is of the essence and traffic is poor.
I also realise that Deansgate In Manchester City centre has now got those bollards too, but we have severely limited the cars that are allowed into the city centre and I must say it’s a lot more pleasant walking around and I say that as someone that would drive through the city centre myself on the way home from work.
