If you have to walk regularly you should write to your local politicians and city council that your needs are not being met safely.

I think the intent with this centered walkway is to provide somewhere that people can push their cart to their trunk without being in a car lane of the lot. This works best if they back into the spot. Some people back into a more normal set of spots then have less space at their trunk if someone pulls in behind them. These can be especially useful near stores that sell larger items as the customers would need more space to load.

Its about long term effort investment. The game really gets fun as you start making lots of profits, upgrading tools, and automating the farm, although it can be tiring. There is also probably over 1000 ways to play. Some focus on mining, some more on social, some rarely leave the farm.

I can usually play it for about and in game year then have to put it down. Then I have a hard time picking it back up cause im worried ill mess up my planting plans even though my character is already fairly rich.

Also, if they are lying about these things, why did they vote for a liar? A lot of people who called agenda 2025 fake or lies still voted for the party representing it.

Get out of the fast lane on a road that only has 1 lane in each direction? Yes i mean drivers using an oncoming lane to pass instead of waiting a few minutes for the passing lanes that come every couple of kilometers.

Once the transit is built you still need to provide some incentive to make people switch. People use bus routes as an excuse to not waste tax money on transit because they see it as ineffective. This is partially because most bus routes are significantly less convenient and slower than driving.

When I call the cops to report dangerous driving, half the time the dispatch doesn't even seem to care, "oh only going 30 over? Is that about the flow of traffic? Well it isn't illegal to pass on the double yellow even if it was kind of tight. If you're backing up traffic by doing the limit you could probably speed up a bit to make it safer".

If the transit is both free and faster than driving, there would defintely be a change, especially if driving costs starting increasing like parking fees or congestion pricing after the transit is built.

People care about their time and their money, you make a change that can save people both and many will change their habits. Sure you might not get the coal rolling truck drivers onto a train but you could get average commuters to change with a few incentives.

Part of this is our polticians don't make enough effort to make their names known. It would be nice if they reached out more with what they want to propose and what they've been doing for Canadians.

This seems great for large parks and pedestrianized areas. This bike can probably get to a patient a lot faster than an ambulance trying to fit down a walking path. They can start assesing and treating as other vehicles arrive.

For the most part in north america, drivers are only really taught to look for other cars. The only exception is cross walks and even then people nearly run over old ladies as they cross. Even in front of the police they probably won't even give you a warning if you nearly hit a pedestrian in an intersection. I've seen drivers honk at children crossing at a deignated crosswalk in a school zone.

I have to drive a large van for work that is too long to fit in a parking spot. If i have to park it in a lot I always find 2 spots so I can pull through and not block the lanes. Yes it sucks it takes up 2 spots but we genuinely need the space this van provides. I wish others would have a little more accountability and courtesy when parking. Nothing baffles me more than the lifted crew cab f350 taking up 2 handicap spots and they even have a handicap tag.
