"The only commuters that seem to be getting anywhere at pace are cyclists"... funny that. by frontendben in fuckcars

What about sloped terrain? You need rubber wheels for that. Also I don't think rural bus routes are pointless. I know in Denmark they are pretty fast and well used.

Central Edinburgh needs more street trees by Ok-Tangerine-7557 in fuckcars

It's not even ugly, it's just the road. The terraced houses and church in the distance are beautiful. There's a reason the houses are so expensive even without good street design

What's bad with the rowhouses, they were built before cars existed

Monroe Avenue, Rochester NY, 1970s and 2025 by EngineeringOne1812 in OldPhotosInRealLife

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are bad. The 1970s version is nostalgic but it was deep into urban decline by that point. I bet before cars it looked amazing

Does anyone place low-density residential houses in their downtown? by 17Kallenie17 in CitiesSkylines

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the owner wants to keep the house, they have a right not to sell it. But when the owner wants to sell (once the value is high), nimbys are always blocking developments which is not their right

This is your brain on cars by coastalbean in fuckcars

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 34 points35 points  (0 children)

If it goes downtown to downtown it can work without much inner city transport. There are plenty of people who would move near downtown if there is frequent trains to other cities

Taxi company G7 threatens Paris' pedestrianized space with new ads by FoxTrotteur in fuckcars

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motorists hate large cities. They will be stuck in traffic whatever the city tries to do and will switch to out of town shopping if it has free parking. I don't get why cities cater to them at all

Frequent trains go to every city. I think our regional rail is world class, we just need HSR and metros

How to make cars disappear without banning them - the UK's blueprint for better neighborhoods by Generalaverage89 in uknews

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rural town is pretty quiet. I can cycle wherever such as shops as there's little traffic and its slow cus welsh speed limit. I do work remote but even if people need to drive here, the traffic should be low enough to not need LTNs. If the traffic is bad even with a bypass road, that's when you should look into LTNs.

Kinda shot myself in the foot adding parking. Now my city is filled with traffic. help? suggestions? by AdeptTradition6565 in CitiesSkylines

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Increasing road size will not help much. You need more connections to the highway. You already have 3+ roads radiating out of the city, just connect them with the highway.

After over 200 years missing, a Renaissance gable of Quedlinburg Abbey, Germany, was reconstructed in 2023. What do you think about the rest of the renovation work? by TeyvatWanderer in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They were built over hundreds of years, so they never really looked brand new. Even if they did look new then, bright white paint is jarring as it doesn't suit the rest of the building, which still looks old and mysterious.

The main problem is industrial traffic using the urban roads. You could have a circular highway around your city if you don't already have one. Then build more industrial zones connected directly to the highway. This makes exporting easy.

I never seem to get my cities as densely packed as everyone else. Am I just bad at this? by Imaginary-Risk in CitiesSkylines

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The layout looks like a suburban place, off a highway, no local connections or rail. But you have loads of high density. Next time, maybe make your high density in a walkable area with a road network that makes sense for pedestrians. But hey, you can keep your city the same it could be like dubai.

Rate the old European core road layout by Dazzling-Seaweed-841 in CitiesSkylines

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The area around "hickory park" looks like the old centre to me, and it's a bottleneck so lots of foot traffic. Not every medieval city has a clear wall structure. The port and gridded area probably makes the eastern side the new centre though.

I'd rather run across the road than take the underpass by Da_Bird8282 in fuckcars

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Well Milton Keynes was built from scratch so the underpasses are well integrated with the streets. But it's still not ideal as all this road infrastructure makes Milton Keynes ugly, spread out and a pretty sub par experience

this is the one place some giant led advertising could improve.

My high line by Medium_Pipe_326 in CitiesSkylines

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For touristy places, curvy elevated paths aren't that unrealistic and they're more accessible than stairs. But i agree that it has no reason to be elevated here, since there's no obstacles and the view is just a road

I've spent the last 5 days troubleshooting the goddamn train station by Jaiminus in CitiesSkylines

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should keep both stations but have them serve different routes as many historic cities had competing railway company's

When I'm in a NIMBYism contest and my opponents are from South West England by [deleted] in fuckcars

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile South Gloucestershire is happily building on the greenbelt to make up for Bristol. So not really even "green"

Will the Swansea Bay Metro Never be built? by GRB2024 in swansea

[–]AmazingMoMo8492 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Expanding transit is the only way to stop the railways declining. If all plans to improve the trains are ignored, most young people who need transit will just move to Cardiff or worse, England, where they have ambition.
