The American system is deliberately built in a way that cuts those areas off for pedestrians and cyclists as well as cars, to force people to drive out of their neighbourhoods rather than take what would've been a 5 minute walk otherwise. Everyone should look up the insane shit that car companies in America pulled to ensure that everyone drives, from this kind of town planning to literally dismantling the vast majority of the american railway system.
@C0deH0wler3 жыл бұрын
Nah. It makes the **entire** neighbourhood like a cul-de-sac with a few strategic knips. Not only that, with connections between the neighbourhoods you effectively create an insanely cheap, dense active travel grid. Tho not really direct, but great for school, local shops, etc. Tho you can join them up in such a way to have direct main routes, and that is on top of arterial cycleways, and off-road main routes. More the better.

I have never heard of rat running. Curious name, I wonder where it originates? Seeing these bollards reminded me of a similar invention which I came up with long ago. People like to drive through yellow lights here in the USA. So a long hump, essentially a pipe, begins raising as soon as the light turns yellow. At speeds of 25 or 30 going over one is uncomfortable. After getting thumped drivers will think twice about ever going through a yellow light again. Once the light is red the hump is at its apex. It begins to drop when the light turns green, but surmounting a hump at slow speeds is fine. An "unhumped" section allows bikes to pass (although they still must stop) at the margin nearest the curb. Of course in the Netherlands there is probably a dedicated bike lane anyway.

@brianocampo79813 жыл бұрын
Oddly enough, no. Because rat-running is almost zero, there is little traffic in residential areas where there shouldn't be any at all. Since most drivers will now use only arterial roads, it discourages driving in city centres unless you have no choice but to drive there. Therefore less traffic and better journey time. There is also a safety aspect to it. Rat running is most common during peak hours, so drivers will use residential roads like highways in their frustration. This practice can put both pedestrians and cyclists (who are also trying to leave or return home) at risk of a high-speed crash in what should be a low-speed setting.

@TheMaestroso2 жыл бұрын
"Not everywhere is reachable by public transport within an acceptable amount of time" This is part of why that congestion happens. Also, because many people who could walk or bike to their destinations choose instead to drive, increasing the number of cars on the road. Any methods which could dis-incentivize people from choosing to drive when they don't need to will improve congestion, and that includes investing more in public transit and making it a desirable option.

In the first example, they only block through traffic whos destination is not in the neighbourhood so vehicles can still get there via the main roads. Pedestrianised areas are different as you simply park nearby and walk if that is not possible it is worth noting that most European cities have park and ride schemes where you can park usually for free outside the city and get a free bus into the centre. When coming from another city with a park and ride facility conveniently located by the highway (which they usually are) this is probably worth doing too as city centre parking tends to be limited and often quite pricy as thriving neighbourhoods are prized over parking lots.

@alex21434 жыл бұрын
It is discriminating against people driving cars, but counter-intuitively, that actually HELPS people who drive cars. It means that it becomes less attractive to get the car to go somewhere, and more attractive to walk or bike, meaning less cars on the road, meaning traffic flows more easily. These roads are not for cars to go fast, they're there for cars to get where they need to go if they have to. The roads in the Netherlands are specifically designed for their respective purposes, just like arteries in a body. You have large separated freeways for throughflowing traffic, connecting roads that connect houses and businesses to the road network, and roads that serve an in-between purpose.

Superior in noise, sure. But yeah, the bollards don’t stop them, and the same goes for scooters.

“Bollard” is the usual term for a post that blocks motor vehicles. A cylindrical bollard that has a hemispherical top is a “bullet design” bollard, “bullet shaped” bollard or “bullet” bollard.

There's some discussion about how these can create safety hazards for cyclists, too. Yes, you can pass, but they aren't always as visible and it has been proven more cycling accidents happen without a car present, than with, and bollards are one of the reason. How do you prevent them?
@gijs_k37373 жыл бұрын
In our district in the north of the Netherlands we had these too because cars tried to use them as well sometimes. But 1 of those bollards has seen 2 scooters and 6 bicycles being smashed against it in just 1 year. 1 injury was an elderly women who suffered a serious hip fracture. The rest were luckily unharmed. We removed it and replaced it with 2 big wooden crates on the sides with small trees in them and better white marking on the asphalt. So now it has a better visibility at night and during the day it retains its ability prevent cars from using it.
@sanssheriff38293 жыл бұрын
For now, it's mostly prevented by only using those when necessary. Ie, when some cars must be allowed at times, but not all the time. Whenever we can, we solve the problem with permanent obstacles or special junction designs.

It is extremely expensive in the Netherlands to own a car. And when you own a car you have to pay an ridiculous amount for road taxes and this money will be spend on technology to prevent you from using the roads you've paid for. Thank God I don't live i a Dutch city, and never will.

What a bunch of BS. The money recovered from MV permits and licensing, gas and parts tax plus taxiaction on MV services is what pays for roads and it's repair. If it weren't for MV's, most roads would still be dirt. What do bikes pay?
@MRT1TRM7 жыл бұрын
Cyclists don't pay directly but I can give you some examples. Cyclists are healthier and therefore don't need the healthcare, they don't pollute, they rarely cause deathly accidents, need less space and the space they need is cheaper. It all adds up and saves a lot of money. Fun fact: did you know the cyclists is the only mode of transportation that earns more money for society than it costs to facilitate? €0.50 per kilometre in the city :)
@paulkennedy87017 жыл бұрын
Oh, dear. Most of the money that is spent on roads is from income tax, consumption taxes and so on, which everybody pays. Very little comes from registration payments or extra fuel levies. Motor vehicles require more road space, more parking space, more heavily engineered facilities, more expensive maintenance, more emergency services, more enforcement etc. These extra costs are rarely, if ever, met by the income from registration and licensing.

Mazda rx7 - Your comment is so ignorant it doesn't deserve a reply, but here goes: Sales and income taxes of people who don't have motor vehicles are used to subsidize the sorry sacks of crap who do use motor vehicles. Registration fees and fuel taxes don't even come close to covering the direct costs, let alone the many externalities, of car driving.
