In my mind yielding should be based on the relative efficiency of the transportation. Mass public transit should have priority, then bikes, then pedestrians. Cars should obviously be last. Of course this shouldn't be all the time. Even when this is the system in general people should follow rules and take their turn to keep everyone safe.
- jraph 4y agoI would prefer pedestrians > cyclists > tramways > bus > cars. - Pedestrians are the most vulnerable and should be protected. Also most people are supposedly regularly pedestrians so it seems it would benefit everyone to have them prioritized. They also don't usually form uninterrupted flows like bikes or cars can. - Then, bikes are very efficient and quite vulnerable. - Then, I really want public transport to be as smooth as possible and cars should be discouraged (if not forbidden except for specific good reasons), especially the ones that only have one or two people in them, so tramways and bus should always be prioritized. - Tramways should win against buses, they also don't usually form uninterrupted flows and we want them to be fast. I believe a really efficient public transport is very important for a working city, and cars are usually the only thing forming continuous streams and are, I think, the only reason we have traffic and traffic lights.
