Most make sense but Panorama Estate area is staying 50kph while all major throughway in the hood has lowered to 40kph.

I don't really have a problem with this in communities. Esp. ones that were poorly designed to begin with. You're literally losing like 2 seconds.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Heck I'm okay with stop signs too. Beats clobbering the whole city with 40kph.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It's an interesting thing to study, rolling stops become a lot more common in places where stop signs aren't really necessary, this is actually more dangerous for pedestrians cause they roll right through the crosswalk. I've heard of this exact thing happening in High River lately.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

90 percent of stop signs should be yield signs.
100% should be roundabouts. 100% of lights too.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Can you change how traffic enforcement is done so it focuses on safety instead of revenue collection? YESThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Does that have real world tangible results? YES
Does it cost anything to implement? NO
Nah, fuck it. Let's spend millions of dollars changing signs and have people drive the same speeds anyway, and ignore all the data showing that speeds below what people consider comfortable and reasonable actually make things LESS safe.
Good ol government doing government things.
The insane thing is how many regular citizens support this type of knee jerk nonsense that accomplishes nothing. Edmonton went through this too. Lot's of people were supporting the residential speed decrease to 40km/h, because they perceive residential roads as being narrow with parking on both sides of the street in front of houses where kids are playing in the road(even though people already drive 30km/h on those road already). They never understood that the city was going to repurpose things and call double divided throughfares that are 60km/h as "residential" and then just stick photo radar there after the change to 40km/h.
For me personally, I don't care if I'm doing 10km/h or 1000km/h, I would prefer to not be hit by some distracted driver that can't get off Facebook at any speed.
Traffic calming islands painted in my area and they're already cutting it up this morning. Saturday, probably time and a half.
Dirtbags, literally ink barely dry and no sense seeing if signage works. Just spend money until Nenshi is gone. No going back now.
Also no idea where the snow is going to be put and how people will park in front of their house.
Awaiting an increase in snow removal budget to truck it outside inner city.
Is a traffic calming island the same as a speed bump? or is it one of those flat roundabout that people just drive over. Unsure why there would be any obstruction to dump snow on the street although in my neighborhood I hate that, why cant people just put the snow from the sidewalk on their lawn where its supposed to go.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

These but also taking the liberty of making a raised bike lane or something too. All I know is everyone has a car and parks in front of their house.
They need to dig them out like this winter. But they do run an exclusive bobcat to clear already made bike lanes.
I guess what I'm getting at is the short sightedness of the city yet again.
Maybe we can all park our cars in the downtown empty offices via the service elevators.
That would be another good short sightedness city pitch.
Then when things pick up. We have no office space. Help!
We have no other choice but to raise taxes to figure out a solution.
It's literally that idiotic.
I was up in Airdre this morning and holy hell is it annoying doing 30km/h everywhere while the cops sit on every street corner waiting. I’m glad my cruise control sets that low.
I think those traffic calming islands make sense in some areas. More sense than a lot of other things anyway. Don't need em at every crosswalk or anything though . . .

My only concern (entirely because it affects me most) that I don't recall seeing any speed limit signs on the larger one-ways downtown. If those are 40kph, that is going to be absolutely brutal.

Eau Claire and Chinatown are affected (go to 40), the CBD itself isn't. So basically 4th Ave south to the tracks stays the same.

Nice video - well done series. Anyway obviously calgary can keep growing until the jobs stop and demand dries up but what happens in cities where there is no room to continue building new houses. And as property prices skyrocket taxes stay the same. Maybe vancouver city would fit this mould.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Yup, as long as humanity has a place to expand to, the ponzi scheme can continue.
My guess is that the matrix has been upgraded to next level. Full electric and AI. Asphalt is simply mans bondage enslavement of the planet earth.

Years of Sim City and Cities Skyline should have already taught everyone the cost of sprawl.
Yeah but in Cities skylines you can always just use an infinite money hack, in our reality its called money printing.
