I measured, actually. On average, I save 20% on my trip length, which is quite significant for someone who drives a lot.

I have NEVER gone through a red, and yet I routinely substantially speed. There's no excuse for running reds. If your reaction time is too shitty to stop quick enough, drive slower. But some of us have very fast reaction times indeed.
Maybe we should endeavor to, idk, not have children and families out on the street in non-designated crossings? Just a wild thought. XD
Good. Let's hope similar petitions pop up in other cities too.
I agree. I'm nudging them to lower it to €1.3m and see if it sells. There have been tentative offers for €1.0m to €1.1m, but that's awfully low, considering where the property is. It's in a highly desirable, affluent district.
The gall of you people. Wow.
Maybe we should focus on stopping them being on the road to begin with?
Thank you. You're exactly right.
Fuck people that run reds. As a speeder, even I can agree with you on that. I'm so sorry for what happened to you, no one deserves to be put through that.
I used to drive to Toronto every day, usually down University Ave, but sometimes down Bay St. I can tell you for free that traffic got much worse on University as a result of those bike lanes.
The destinations argument doesn't really work, since you can easily bike on the road for a short distance to get to where you're going, or have a short walk.
There is, sadly, a tradeoff between safety and efficiency. If we truly valued safety above everything, we'd ban cars altogether and return to the 1800s. But we have accepted as a society that a small number of accidents is worth the benefit of rapid transportation.
