Careless drivers knocking down signage II
Cnr of #RosesRoad, John Locke Pl. Ever since the #GlenifferRoad 'upgrade'. No road is ever wide enough.

"Local MP writes to authorities over ‘irresponsible’ motorists flocking to see sunrise and sunset at Mam tor"
"On 11 January, gritters were blocked from accessing the road at Rushup Edge, close to Mam tor, by about 200 doubled-parked cars."

The 2017 UK-wide study had found similar figures. 
Here they also include the #traffic causalities. The graph 
More than 43% of cyclists didn't need #hospitalisation *at all*, #motorists & co just 35%.

Hey #Mastodon / #Fediverse !
I have a quick poll for you on transport.
If you drive to work, how far do you drive? Just one way (eg into work, not both trips)
It’s irritating that this focuses on disruption to #road #transport & #motorists but mentions the major disruption to #rail users as a footnote. This #oilage #car #culture has got to go in this #ClimateCrisis & the #bbc needs to wake up. #Change is coming. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy3k9wv0xlo
Nicked from #1970s "nostalgia" group on FB - this is the "freedom" British #motorists look back on fondly - 0 PPE or axle stands, #oil spilled across the pavement, kids looking on amongst all this (and thus being normalised to this scene of #pollution) in residential streets (also the two lads are clearly car enthusiasts as that large trolley jack wouldn't have been cheap in 1970s, they are still pricey today, I recently bought one)
Once you start seeing how much space we sacrifice for #cars, you can't unsee it. They have taken over our cities completely.
And they feel entitled and justified to every single space available. Given a chance, anything becomes a parking spot.
And if you dare speak up about it or oppose it, #motorists respond immediately with aggression, violent threats, racism and sometimes actual violence.
Don't dare advocate for a cycle lane, some space in the footpath for a wheelchair user, or a stroller.
#Motorists seem to be angry by default. And that's of course quite bad.
They are angry at other drivers, angry at pedestrians, angry at #buses, angry at potholes and traffic jams.
But the worst of all their anger is usually directed at #cyclists.
We can't seem to get it right. Always in the wrong place, too slow and too fast at the same time.
