Entirely unashamed anti car propaganda, and the more the better.

I don't get your point... Is this thread only for people who love cities and traffic jams?
I thought it was a thread specifically for taking the piss out of teuchter, in which case I'll always be at the front of the queue.
It's the thread of middle-aged men shouting into the void.

Don't you think it's a bit crass to imply a similarity between car ownership and slavery?
I think we'd all like to see fewer (and smaller and cleaner) cars on the road (when public transport is sufficient to do without them), but some of the more extreme anti-car stuff just turns people off

I wouldn't, I'd like to see more, especially in London.

Yes, more cars means more people going from A to B directly living their best lives.
Also, look at all these violent offences that happen every month on London buses. Replacing buses with cars would eliminate all of these:

Yet another good reason to ban cars
Transport noise linked to increased risk of dementia, study finds
Large survey involving two million adults found links between road and rail traffic and Alzheimer’s in particular
and trains, according to that study:
“In this large nationwide cohort study, we found transportation noise from road traffic and railways to be associated with an increased risk of all-cause dementia and dementia subtypes, especially Alzheimer’s disease”
Roads will get quieter with electric vehicles, but railways won't, so best to ban them first.

Horse and barge. There's plenty of freight that doesn't need to go at 70mph. Revitalise the canal network, loads of new jobs, very low carbon. The only barrier is stupidity.

Railway pollution has a much smaller spread. I live on the opposite side of the road to a busy (2 lines, 4 tracks) railway route and barely notice the noise. My opposite neighbours probably suffer a lot more but only a tiny proportion of people live close enough to hear it. Unlike cars which are allowed everywhere.

Lock gates (and other fantastic contraptions like boat wheels) are a way of getting past natural barriers, they are not barriers in themselves.

It's a reasonable question. How can they tell that noise rather than air pollution has contributed to dementia? A deaf control group?
platinumsage
HaveMyPassword123
They didn’t measure noise or air pollution, they modelled both using maps and polygons etc.
TBH I think they just haven’t accounted for all the confounding variables properly, and that transport noise doesn’t give you alzheimers.

Or how about we just let everyone do exactly what they want all the time regardless of the impact on other people? That sounds fun.Let’s just ban everything. Noise pollution solved
