Great article, it's an important topic to continue discussing to raise awareness and drive actual change. The desired end result is fewer traffic injuries and deaths, and it's difficult to put a price on that, although I'm sure everyone couod agree that it's priceless if they were personally affected.
Valid points were raised, but there are even more possible solutions that must be considered jointly with others. At the core of the problem is private vehicles that make up the majority of vehicles on the road and have the potential to cause great harm to both people and property, so solutions need to centre around them. These include reducing car usage by making alternatives more appealing, greater law enforcement and penalties, and revamping driving education and licensing to focus on safety above all else.
One such possible solution that has a low cost to implement is reducing speed limits. All over the world drivers exceed speed limits, this may not be possible to change entirely. But reducing speed limits on many roads will reduce the average vehicle speed, resulting in fewer collisions and less dangerous ones. This is especially important in residential and high foot traffic areas. I trust the authorities will prioritise the appropriate safety measures!
Greenhouses are great, but still require sufficient land. Distance from farmland to urban centres in most of western Europe isn't very high either, but in city-states like Hong Kong or Singapore, which import the majority of their food due to lack of agricultural land, produce often travels from other Asian countries or other continents. In this case transport is a significant contributor to emissions (and increases price).
Agreed on the livestock-related agriculture, but let's not dismiss vertical farming. The kind of crops that can be grown in vertical farms are the same crops that already require tons of water to grow and are inefficient to transport (high spoilage, refrigeration). Vertical farming closer to urban centres can drastically cut the resource use mentioned above, although I don't have the numbers to tell if the savings are greater than the cost. The majority of food production for grains and legumes will remain traditional anyway.
Yep, these crossings lend a false sense of safety, while pedestrians don't actually have right of way. The danger is multiplied by the poor visibility of oncoming vehicles when having to squeeze through, and the gamble of whether the vehicle will turn left since 90% of drivers don't use indicators.
It's still wild to me that on Orchard Rd, which has very high foot traffic both for locals and tourists, even has crossings like this rather than zebra or signaled crossings only. I think about this every time I come across this specific intersection.
Can you show me where it says cycling is prohibited on flyovers? LTA doesn't state it https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/getting_around/active_mobility/rules_and_public_education/rules_and_code_of_conduct.html
Could you point me in the direction of a road without vehicles where cyclists are allowed to go faster than 25km/h?
They're riding in the leftmost lane in the direction they need to go, no more than 2 abreast, in a reasonable group size, without swerving into other lanes, on a Sunday. Your "inconvenience" is pressing a pedal and passing them on the right without delays. Is there an issue or are you just trying to drum up unjustified hate towards cyclists?
That road goes to Dunearn, which is perfectly legal to ride on. None of them are breaking the rules.

By using high density transportation - public transport, walking, cycling. Cars and their infrastructure take up a huge amount of land that could be better used to alleviate congestion and improve safety for everyone else. Why should roads be 4 lanes each direction, while pedestrians and cyclists have to share a 1-meter wide sidewalk? It's not a matter of feasibility, it's a matter of political will.
As a Vancouverite living in SG, same.
Classical game or not, the shortest possible checkmate is 2 moves (Fool's Mate). If each player takes 1 second to play their move, that is a 4-second game of chess.
You don't need to personally respect someone to be courteous and offer them a seat if they need it more than you. At the same time they're not entitled to anything nor are they right to be rude to younger folk for no reason.
2 too many riders with hand positions that don't allow for emergency braking while riding in a bunch. CAT 6 pileup waiting to happen?
The more lanes a road has, the more lanes a turning car needs to cross, the more time spent in the intersection. Obviously running a red light would most likely hit a turning car at any intersection, but the odds of a collision in this case is higher as a result.
Knee looks a little too extended at the bottom of the stroke, although I'm not a bike fitter and OP should do whatever works for them if they're comfortable and injury-free.
Looks about right to me, may want to lower your saddle a bit though
Motorists that hate cyclists already hate cyclists even without this idiot, because "how dare they use the road that clearly belongs to cars!!"
Reverse the roles, would you say the same about cyclists hating drivers?
I get where you're coming from, but would you comment the same thing on a video of a speeding driver?
"This is the kind of driver that makes regular people hate all drivers"
No, you would just think that particular person is a dumbass regardless of the vehicle they operate, and not generalize. Let's avoid the double standard!
Like Kiran Badloe?
Also the Serranía de Hornocal in Salta, Argentina!
Question to those who might know better than me: why are (some) ministers assigned to a role in which they have no experience or education? Is experience in politics sufficient to perform in the role due to work with other committees and experts?
