Clearly almost nobody on this forum works in the professional architecture/planning/engineering/design/traffic industry world. So many bad takes here, especially in the infrastructure section. This place is a goldmine.
It is pretty funny at least. Lots of seriously bad take content that has made it to a few big 'bad engineering takes' or 'bad planning takes' meme accounts from here. ⭐
If what I’ve said is so obviously wrong, you should be able to explain briefly why. I might not be 100% convinced, but it should at least be possible for you to make me stop and think without having to write a whole book on the matter.
May we start with the centre-lane MUT idea? What exactly is wrong with it, taking into account what I’ve already said about it further up? For example, we know that according to engineers, it’s A-OK to have bicycles 10cm from motor vehicle traffic. So the problem with the centre-lane idea can’t possibly be that we would have only a low fence separating bicycles from occasional LRT vehicles.
I’d be interested to see where this stuff has shown up. Sounds fascinating. But our urban planners and engineers have built enough really bad stuff that I don’t necessarily take their disapproval as meaning anything.
