    well murica and their anti pedestrian street designs

    Then read your comment.

    Checked the picture.

    Zoomed in. there is text.

    in disbelief

    thats actually a german crossing.

    Got angry and dumbfounded at the same time.

      The city planner: „What do you mean? This intersection is just fine. I drive my car through it every day.“

        And it complies with all regulations. As long as we comply with regulations, we don’t have to come up with reasonable solutions.

      You can easily tell it’s not American because it’s even there in the first place. You don’t get a sign explaining the bike paths and crosswalks in America. You just gotta know or get fucked. Also we wouldn’t have a complicated bike route we just wouldn’t have one, solves that issue…

      See, I watch Adam Something videos from the point of view that he’s not really talking about America. He’s talking about European politicians looking at terrible ideas from America and trying to replicate them.

      This is a pretty good example. America wouldn’t do this, exactly, but it’s a step towards our terrible bike infrastructure. The other poster had the right of it: in America, the sign wouldn’t be there at all, but the intersection would still be badly designed.
