1. La Peligrosa Cultura del Conductor y la Falta de Atención.
Los usuarios expresan una profunda frustración con la agresividad, la distracción y la negligencia de los conductores, señalando que la conducción se ha vuelto más peligrosa, especialmente desde la pandemia. Se critica la normalización de la violencia vial y la sensación de impunidad al operar vehículos pesados.
- Its sociopathic. Crosswalk lights on and with a stroller, i had to stand and wait at ellice and langside for a driver blasting through at 20 over the limit last weekend.
- I hate driving. I hate it. We need to invent a safer means of travel, like, yesterday. The average american cant take a train or the subway because most people live in the suburbs.
- I used to be a delivery driver and you can set it in how people drive now as opposed to then. Huge spike in aggression.
- I am very conservative about driving. Its so, so risky, and i think only people who are fully aware they could fucking kill people if they do it wrong should be allowed to.
- People drive 85 mph out here in a 70 while checking their phone. They be swerving lol. They also are not good drivers in the rain.
- The number of people who seem to think our city is deliberately trying to make roads difficult to drive on is unbelievable.
2. Prioridad de la Infraestructura: Coches vs. Personas.
Se denuncia cómo el diseño urbano prioriza sistemáticamente el flujo vehicular y el estacionamiento sobre la seguridad y la accesibilidad de los peatones, ciclistas y usuarios de transporte público. Se exige un cambio radical en la planificación urbana para revertir el diseño centrado en el automóvil.
- Car-centric designs have completely warped our ability to see how its only the car that makes all this stuff miserable. Not the quantity of people, not, whatever. The cars.
- Cities should prioritize the interests of the people who live in them over the people who drive through them!
- When one of the countrys largest cities has to restrict people from visiting a thriving market, its proof that we have drastically under-allocated space for human life and over-allocated it for cars.
- The manitoba municipal board and the granite curling club think that where cars sleep is more important than where people sleep. We could lose housing for 200 people because they decided that 45 parking stalls were more important than housing.
- I have almost been hit twice by drivers who havent slowed down soon enough at cross walks. I use a walking aid. Our cities are deadly for americans, not just due to unsafe drivers, but inadequate pedestrian and bike infrastructure.
3. La Solución es el Transporte Público y las Alternativas Activas.
Hay un fuerte consenso en que la inversión en transporte masivo (trenes, autobuses, carriles bici) es la única cura real para la congestión y la dependencia del automóvil. Se destaca que la falta de opciones seguras y eficientes obliga a muchas personas a conducir o a enfrentar viajes largos e incómodos.
- Cars are traffic and congestion. Buses, bikes, bus lanes, bike lanes, trams, metros and elevated rail are the bloody cure to congestion! gah!
- We need mass transit we cannot for the safety.
- If you make spaces for all it gets people like me off the roads and less traffic for the people that want to drive.
- Mass transit in america is terrible. A drive that takes 10 minutes can be an hour on the bus, plus waiting around in the weather.
- I love trains. You can read, talk, watch the scenery, write letters or work on a novel, watch a video, do crafts.
- I love riding transit i can chillvibe and not have to focus on driving safely, i dont have to deal with asshole drivers, i can people-watch and city-watch, i can read, i can close my eyes.
4. Críticas a los Vehículos Modernos y la Tecnología.
Se critica el tamaño creciente de los vehículos (SUVs, Cybertrucks) por su peligrosidad para los peatones y se expresa escepticismo sobre las soluciones tecnológicas como los vehículos autónomos (AVs) y los coches eléctricos (EVs) si no van acompañadas de una reducción en el número total de vehículos.
- Will climatewire please consider the problems that align with motor vehicles? emmisions and toxic waste in car tyres including mercury. Evs still have toxic car tyres.
- My biggest problem with them is that they actually increase traffic. Particularly removing people from public transportation into private automobiles. More individual cars is unsustainable if we actually care about reducing automobile dependency.
- I had to drive around these things in palo alto when they were testing them out. These things are going to potentially get people killed i am not joking about that.
- I love reading articles where cyber truck owners bitch about how people hate their dumb not a truck idiot mobile. They are so ugly and dorky looking and support a literal nazi.
- Front end height is the largest determinant of pedestrian death by a significant factor. These things kill people for no reason.
