Hmm... If instead the main road was set back (chicane) then that would achieve the same benefits AND reduce speed on the main road at the intersection. I realise the cost of doing this would be higher, but I don't agree it is always the cyclists that have to zig zag around to make it easy for cars.

Musk talking about fighting falsehoods on his platform. One hour before he'd amplified a falsehood to millions of people. Nobody died in that incident, caused by a drunk driver. No community note, no correction.

Back to school is coming fast! In #Paris, they have la rentrée sorted. There are 300 "rue aux écoles," streets closed to cars, but open to people—up from 185 last year. That means *half* of kindergartens + elementary schools now have school streets. What's your city doing to keep kids safe?
