“Many highways expanded from major roads. The new segments (built where no major roads existed) had to connect existing major roads.” This is an opinion that is not factually accurate to what happened. Entire neighborhoods were plowed under

> "minorities are more likely to live in areas where new highways would normally be built" These were being built for the first time. There was no “where they were normally built” because they were first built in the areas ment

There’s a good opportunity for those other use cases as many of them are centrally located and so with investment that could be in the form of government subsidies (if they could every agree on anything) to upgrade factories and utilities,

While most commuter trains in the US are electric, that’s not the case for cargo or long-haul passenger rail. So “would be” refers to the opportunity to electrify those lines. Many of the tracks in the US are not electrified today.

The reason I highlighted the % of transportation that’s personal vehicles is to make it clear how much impact it has on the overall usage. 15% of total consumption is not a small percentage by any means, at least not by my estimation of sma

Trains would be easier to electrify than planes, assuming the electricity can be sourced cleanly.

Not sure where this idea comes from that cars are a “small percentage”, but here’s what I could find: “light-duty vehicles (cars, small trucks, vans, sport utility vehicles, and motorcycles) 54.2%” of energy usage in the transportation sect

Cars and the transportation sector are the primary consumers of oil. I think GP was saying, stop pointing at the oil company while you’re driving around in your car. We should be pointing out the car centric transportation systems we have a

No. You want an intersection that is safe for everyone outside of cars, and bollards help do that. If drivers aren’t capable of negotiating streets with them, then they shouldn’t be driving, or they should be driving a smaller vehicle. The

If people keep hitting the bollards, doesn’t that mean they’re working?

This doesn’t work when driving primarily because cars are generally moving a lot fast and are less maneuverable that bikes in avoiding conflict.

As an American, I’m equally confused. I will say that based on my experience, the tristate areas I often see referred to are around New York and Philadelphia. New York: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut. Philadelphia: Pennsylvania, New Jers

I found it funny to see “tristate area” since I used to hear it growing up so much. For reference though, the term actually doesn’t refer to anywhere specific, there are many tristate areas, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

Goodbye to the family seating. I have a lot of good memories riding with my family and friends in those living room like areas. I’m a little sad those are going away.

Similar reports are coming out of Florida. Generally, it seems the industry is pulling away from higher risk to climate change issues from larger storms or fire risk.

Sounds like Route 1, which goes by a few different names. You may be lucky. They are continuing to have a difficult time keeping it open as various sections keep collapsing into the sea, at some point I imagine they’ll close sections of it

Three Mile island was very close to being a major disaster, and upon further review had more radiation escape than was initially disclosed. The list of all of these nuclear incidents is interesting, many of them seem to be various component

The thing that’s somewhat ironic here is that the car companies could make cars safe by default. For example, they could make it not possible to accelerate faster than one needs to. They could put in speed limiters that are triggered by the

To fix the Senate, you need to make it more proportional to the number of people in the states. The other option would be to get rid of the Senate all together, as it’s undemocratic to begin with. North Dakota should not get the same power

The reason I think Metros is more important than either city v city, or State v State, is that many metros can cross state lines, and may include multiple cities. The Bay Area is a good example of the latter with Oakland and San Francisco b

One negative thing to point out is that Norway’s policies on the EV are increasing the number of cars on the road (this is stated in the video). People are opting to drive more often than they did before to places that they otherwise would

One thing to point out is that different areas of the US are doing better and worse on a lot of things. This is a good example. It would be better to look at the different metropolises of the US when talking about various things like ev ado
