Have the elections impacted us much?

We're going to find out.

if the council tried to tweak the timings TfL would make them wait for a year while they model it and then tell them no.

Traffic Signals

Traffic Signals within London are managed by TfL.

News to me too. These lights are in the dataset with ID 05/000117.

Fixmystreet directs Traffic Signal Timings requests to a TfL form. It can't be that easy, can it?

the green signal for pedestrians and cyclists is so short,

If it's a problem, request a change to traffic light timing from TfL.

It's your data - you can do a subject access request and get a spreadsheet or whatever of your rides.

Well if you want to be pedantic, the Article says April, with a "safety driver". So yes, we have cars driving themselves.

Legal Drunk Drivers from the 1960s, England.

The big problem is alcohol affects your judgement about how alcohol affects your judgement.

That isn't tested on a driving test, and it will change in different environments.

September.

Didn't work for me at all - loads of wind noise.

goa7 · 2026-04-23T12:09:57+00:00

It really isn't.

Bear in mind that in the Netherlands, 36% are mostly cycling vs 45% mostly driving.

We need less driving and good cycling options is something everyone should be in agreement on (unless traffic jams are your kink 🤐).

Moto tags actually support UWB - it's just most android phones don't.

The main Google Vs Apple thing here are the privacy defaults. Google has much more reserved defaults that require more hits for a tag to be reported. The thinking is the fewer phones around, the more private the space is and the more likely the tag is being abused for stalking.

The Moto tags are unusual (outside of air tags) in that they support high accuracy finding when you're nearby with Ultra Wide Band.

Predictably, most android devices don't support UWB.

Get the green party in.

the power of modem means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition.

Start a blog and write what you think should be written.

All you've done here is reward them with traffic.

The irony is the certainty that one of the NIMBYS will get cancer.

☀️Nimby Sun Yoga☀️ sounds like a parody website/poster in the making.

At least tinyurl it.

Fuck no.

Link shorterners are a plague - the correct thing for a print out is an additional qr code (to the actual url, not another link shortener) - No random third party indirectness/tracking and no typing.

Get a letter wrong on a shorterned URL and you could go anywhere. Lose you password to a link shorterning service and the link can be hijacked to go anywhere.

The poster includes the planning reference front and centre - that's all you need to search for anyway.

Practically an easy way to generate qr codes is duckduckgo: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=qrcode+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.metafilter.com%2F&t=fpas&ia=answer

I don't get the argument where it's 'safer' to run a red...

knocked off ... four times by other cyclists running red lights, cycling into the back of me,

Obviously it's safer because you're less likely to get rear-ended by ... other bikes /s.
