A self-paced study program with testing at the end should be satisficing and economical.

For comparison, here’s the requirements for pilots. I’d say aviation has got it pretty dialed in by now.

The Ontario Highway Traffic Act, for example, gets about 6 updates per year.

Online Written test every year, in person written test every 2 years (the laws do change after all).

Road test every 4-5 years.

Bingo on the violations. In person written test for any infraction, road test for any infraction involving points.

Since the province is “science basing” this. Do we have any data that supports the lanes are actually the throughput limiter? It’s almost always the intersections.

Can the province provide any data that adding a lane will improve motor vehicle traffic flow? Can the province provide any data that the car throughput increase will be more than the bicycle throughput that is lost?

Neat. I feel like it removes some of the magic from decorating houses, but having never seen one it’s an unvalidated guess.

Not sure how the accessibility is any different, but my neighborhood tends to be a drop in location for most the city, so we’re just kind of expected to met kids where they’re at. Maybe we’re just used to it?

What is a trunk-or-treat?

Fair enough, my Canadian bias snuck in there.

Seems strange to me, but you do you!

Wouldn’t you be common-law after 35 years?

Are you Chuck Mahon?

If not, it’s great to see his affect on USA traffic engineering

Good thing I’ve got a longtail, so I can fit a “Fuck Ford’s Policies” sticker.

Do they want to get to places on those cars, or do they want to get to places and cars are the only (or only practical) way?

No case yet, I was given a warning not charged.

I’ll still reach out, they’re likely tied into the right people.

Specifically I was on a two lane road on front of a Tim Hortons. Because where else would a cop be hanging out.

No set fine, it’s a court appearance; according to the cop who pulled me over.

E-bike then 🤣

I mean, that’s an option too. Bike could pay 1/8th-1/12th the amount cars do based on amount of road used.

Of course, there’s the whole problem of cars don’t fucking pay for the roads. In Ontario, vehicle registration is a whopping $32. Since the average car lifespan in Canada is around 11 years, Ontario vehicles pay less than $3 per year (less however much of the registration fee is administration and overhead)

Since bikes take up abouth 1/10th the road, they would pay $3 for registration.

I am more than happy to pay road tax by fourth power law axle weight on all my bicycles.

And? Highway miles should have even less interaction with pedestrians.

So you don’t have taxis driving on sidewalks or motorcycles speeding down the wrong side of split avenues and you STILL have about the same road deaths and injuries per pop as Taiwan?
