So you patiently wait for your little white man signal, and as soon as it finally comes on (after 2 full cycles of the traffic lights) you start crossing only to get honked at by some lady who wants to turn right on her red light…

Looks like my Cities Skyline interchanges

My reaction to this was “but there’s obviously going to be a footbridge”, followed by “wait, really?”

I guess that second thought just about sums up North American infrastructure

America has the most horrendous roads and side walks omg

That, also because its 110 god damn degrees outside and I dont want to die of heatstroke before i reach the end of the street

Gonna take at least half an hour

I lived on an intersection like this for a while and I felt like I was going to fucking die every time I had to cross.

I watched this youtube a while back about how bad our streets are designed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORzNZUeUHAM

This looks like in cities skyline when I forgot to put in a pedestrian walkway and I can’t really change the streetlayout anymore

❤️ Strong Towns but they should get off Twitter.

In the past we used to design our cities to be walkable because there was mo other sensible way. Now we build for cars and everything at the human level ends up far away separated by endless parking lots.
