Don't start me on public transit... 120 years ago my town had a fully-fledged tramway system which connected to other local systems spread over hundreds of miles centred on our local railway station.
The tracks were ripped up to provide space for parking...
Uh-oh! I got started!!!

The 85% rule is insane. Basically, it means that speed limits are set by the most dangerous drivers.
The streets in my town were set out over 120 years ago. But as usual, cars have usurped the rights of prior users to the point where KSIs or peds and cyclists run at 4x the UK rate, and I don't even live in Florida. I mean, jaywalking laws were brought in to ease drivers' consciences about the number of pedestrians they were killing.

Born and bred in #Plymouth, the one in #Europe, a long, long time ago. Also lived in #Cornwall, #BristolUK, and #Hampshire.
Had three or four more or less glorious careers and now live with Miss America in #NewJersey, the #Essex of North America.
A dedicated European who thinks #Brexit is the longest suicide note in history, I'm now mostly content to ride my bike, and sit in my rocking chair on the porch and remember campaigns past.
