    Here in Ontario our provincial government is threatening to suspend civil liberties to remove 3 bike lanes.

    That is clearly the biggest baby on earth.

      Oh you’re oversimplifying. They’re trying to suspend civil liberties to make people shut up about a conservative mega-spa grift and eventually come after the green belt. The three bike lanes are just a fun bonus!

    There’s a rapid transit project being built nearby me that isn’t even completely isolated from traffic for the entire route and motorists are still acting like they’re breaking ground on an infant slaughterhouse.

    Only exceeded by motorists mad about bicyclists taking the lane when no bike lane is present. They can drive side by side with them or behind them. Their choice.

    While we’re on the subject, as a cyclist, fuck slip lanes. If I die before my time it’s going to be because a motorist took a slip lane without checking for pedestrians.

      As a motorist: also, fuck slip lanes. Gee, let’s add merge zones criss-crossing pedestrian crossing and bike lanes, and see if anyone notices. Yes, it increases intersection vehicle throughput, but I’m pretty sure it costs everyone some safety in exchange.

      Most screwed-up permutation I’ve seen of this: slip-lane on a traffic circle.

        Tbf, when done correctly a slip lane on a roundabout reduces the number of lanes you have to cross all at once, so long as they have a pedestrian island.
