@ExtremeDullard thinner first layer (many profiles default to a thicker first layer), colour sequence too.

Those would be the first things I'd try.

@stray @turtlesareneat erecting fences to prevent unsafe crossings is usually done way before adequate crossing options are given.

@Endymion_Mallorn @culprit @racketlauncher831 Where everything I could think of doing in Tokyo was <300m from a train station. Just tap a card to get into the station and go where you want to be. Such a fantastic city to visit, I wish I had made an opportunity to live there at some point.

Even the much smaller city of Kyoto, which has just a small metro + buses, was a pleasure to travel around. Plentiful buses and so many things are within walking distance.

@Endymion_Mallorn @culprit @racketlauncher831 Despite the fear of dogpiling, the two cities I've visited that contrast the most sharply are Houston and Tokyo. When we visited Houston for my BIL's wedding we stayed in a hotel 500m from the venue where the wedding was being held. Walking those 500m was horrific and clearly everyone expected us to drive 2 miles to park 300m from the venue. Even going between two stores in the same complex was expected to be by car.

@PhatalFlaw @destructdisc increase in retail sales indirectly but quantatively measures it. Or at least it probably does, it's hard to imagine that more relaxed shoppers aren't more likely to return sooner.

@TerranFenrir @mondoman712 the strength requirements for rails are much lower on the moon. I would also assume movement isn't going to be driven by the wheels (low gravity gives low friction), so that isn't a driving concern either (pun fully intended)

@perestroika @poVoq it looks like you can make that longer for bike fit, but yes, they have suspension in there which will impact it a little bit. But that shouldn't be a big deal.

@over_clox ah, yes, might makes right.

For reference, when was the street invented? And for what?

@over_clox Yes, the concept is from rail, but it applies to all crossings/intersections.

The point is we lost a lot when we decided that it was okay for death machines to have right of way all around us. We shouldn't accept it as normal.

@over_clox bad typing, corrected now

@over_clox why are cars allowed there. That is the way around I'm pushing

@over_clox at grade crossings should be rare ;)
