“The roar of late-night traffic is not just annoying for those trying to sleep. It can also have profound effects on their health. A pioneering new study, published this month, has found a clear link between road noise and Parkinson’s disease.” It’s well beyond time we killed the private car. #Traffic #Congestion #Pollution #Noise

We've known for years Phenylephrine is shit.
Pharmacists used to offer it to you by default here, and they looked at you like you were a drug dealer when you said, "I'd like pseudoephedrine please."
Yesterday I went masked to the chemist and the pharmacist didn't even ask which; he went straight for the proper stuff and I happily handed over my driver's licence. Even they know phenylephrine does nothing!

When you don’t support more active forms of #transportation like #publictransit and #cycling, this is the world we are supporting: #cars congesting much of the road. This is Marshall road clogged up from Sumas Way all the way to McKenzie road on a Wednesday afternoon. If you just add another lane for #singleoccupancy cars, you get the exact same issue: just another lane of #congestion only slightly shorter. But if you were instead to put in a lane for #buses and #cyclists, then we would have a new lane that actually moves people keep quickly than just another car lane. And when public #transit becomes faster and more reliable than cars, more people will pick transit over their cars, and that in turn also makes the road better for those who need to use cars for things like transporting items as they will have less congestion in their lanes from more people using the bus instead of a car for transporting people. Communities around BC are headed to #municipal #elections this fall, and if #Abbotsford wants to get out of its congestion issues, it’s time to vote for a #mayor and #council that will improve transit and other forms of active transportation that will get our roads moving quicker, like more #buslanes as well as brining the #Skytrain or another two-way passenger #rail service from Metro #Vancouver into Abbotsford. Let’s build transportation in this city that’s better designed to move people around #town, not one to move the car companies’ profits.

Traffic jams? Consider underground tunnels to ease congestion on the hot roads
Elon Musk "really profits from a kind of terra nullius environment, where there’s as few regulations as possible, and he can quickly move into a relatively empty space and dominate it,” Slobodian says. Just as he achieved that with SpaceX’s rockets and Starlink’s low Earth orbit satellites, so Musk doubtless saw the underground realm as territory for the taking."
We urgently need an uncongested tunnel underneath Hyde St in car-dependent #Bellingen >>

“European drivers face €220 a year jump in fuel costs due to Iran conflict, say experts.” Good. #Pollution #ClimateCrisis #Environment #Congestion

Good News Alert! Over a year now & the nation's first #traffic #congestion law is a success. #NYC's #cleaner, safer, faster (at least the #tunnel), and businesses are doing fine. Traffic's down 9% in the region and 22% in the #zone! #Bus speeds are up only 2.3% tho. $6B already in use, $15B total to come.
Op-Ed from #Environmental Defense Fund: traffic did not go up in S Bronx (plus fewer #trucks!), monies are going to area sick & to more trees, air filtration in schools.

#Kyoto raises #hotel accommodation #tax to fight #overtourism, travelers cld pay upto 10X more
"Under te new struct, analysts predict Kyoto will >double its accom tax rev 2026 to ¥13bil.. City officials r promis'g it’ll fund overtourism countermeasures, such as “reducing #traffic #congestion & #littering.” there've been increas'g complaints fr #locals abt #overcrowding"

A strange but true finding about NYC congestion pricing:
Drivers’ time savings have overwhelmingly gone to those traveling *outside* the toll zone (i.e., driving from Brooklyn to Queens or within NJ) – not those headed into Manhattan.

MOSCOW COLLAPSE NOW: PUTIN FEARS RUSSIANS Vlog 1298: War in #Ukraine
#Putin is scared, stopping traffic for miles to ensure his safe passage. #Moscow was paralyzed by #traffic #jams. Eight-point #congestion occurred in the capital due to his trip to the region.

#Transport for #London has unveiled a five-year, network-wide #strategy aimed at cutting #congestion and improving safety across the capital’s roads. The ‘London on the move’ plan is the first of its kind and focuses on using new technology, better coordination with boroughs and targeted investment to improve journeys, particularly on the bus network. Measures include upgrades to traffic signal systems, wider use of data-led monitoring, faster rollout of bus priority at junctions and route-wide signal reviews. #TfL will also expand its lane rental scheme to borough roads to reduce disruption from roadworks, with several boroughs already approved. The plan builds on recent progress in road safety, cycling growth and air quality, and supports the Mayor’s aim to increase walking, cycling and public transport use while creating a safer, more reliable road network.

This could be about #kingsLynn & its planned edge-of-town #hospital
"What’s so frustrating, beyond the fact that money and time have been wasted designing a facility and lining up a site that in 2025, as we suffer dual #climate and #congestion crises forces most […] to drive to a new hospital […], is that it so obviously doesn’t need to be this way." @reece An Urgent and Avoidable #Transit Mistake in Waterloo Region.

#Starlink will begin lowering the orbit of its satellite constellation in 2026
-- moving spacecraft currently operating at around 342 miles (550 km) down to 298 miles,
-- as the company seeks to improve safety in increasingly crowded low Earth orbit.The move follows growing concerns about #orbital #congestion
as thousands of satellites are launched for broadband, communications, and Earth observation services.Starlink’s decision also comes after the company disclosed in December that one of its satellites suffered an "in-orbit anomaly",
producing a “small” amount of debris
and cutting off communications with the spacecraft.The company said the satellite
-- one of nearly 10,000 currently in orbit for its broadband internet network
-- rapidly lost 2.49 miles in altitude,
suggesting an internal explosion,
in what was described as
"a rare kinetic accident"https://interestingengineering.com/space/spacex-starlink-orbit-lowering-2026
