Road signs. What do you think of them? Which country does them the best? Would you change anything in the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals?
>>2022126The Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) is the Gold Standard in highways construction.>https://www.standardsforhighways.co.uk/
I enjoy how Italy does this instead of having a round sign with a "applies to" plaque beneath. Much more elegant. For some reason the Vienna convention only specifies the trucks with hazardous material sign.
advisory speed in km/u (kilometer per uur) instead of km/h. same thing but looks unprofessional
somehow this design didn't catch on

>>2060362Electric trains have no oomph and are bad for your health, think ill stick with my CAR
>>2060572As an example of "not really a yard" having yard limits, we had 4 mile stretch designated as yard limits because there were 2 grain elevators side by side with a few storage tracks. It was easier to coordinate multiple jobs pulling and spotting and letting trains through than dealing with a dispatcher controlling it.

>>2060570>You tell me what the difference is, jack ass.well it appears that under GCOR "main line" isn't a term in the rules
>>2060606Yeah, because the term used is main track. So again, what's the difference?

What are the advantages of these things as opposed to, idk, a bus?
>>2057440A much, much better ride. Not having to deal with potholes is a godsend.
>>2057440helps melburnian special snowflakes feel unique
>>2057440The main advantage is not being held up in traffic.Sure that TECHNICALLY can be done with bus lanes but cage-driving retardoids will hog the bus lane. That does not have the sense of impending doom that hogging the tram track does.The best way to speed up your transit vehicle is to have it in a separate, dedicated lane that cannot be blocked by retards.As such, the logical conclusion for all public transit is, and always was, the suspended monorail.But they don't want you to know that.

Anyone good with old bikes? I intend to buy this one (auction website) for 20 bucks. First i wonder what the brand on it is because i have no clue. Second, it has been stored for probably decades inside. The gearing feels fine, no rust there and i can feel some oil gunge there.
And last pic. If i were to buy it, shouldn't it be enough to replace the rubber wheels, clean up the gears, oil moving parts and then good to go?
>>2060346Even just finding matching tires and tubes can be challenging on these old things.If you have the space to have it sit around while you try to come up with enough motivation to fix it up, for that little money, go for it.
>>2060343It'll be so much work and money to restore that thing that you may as well just get a dipshit fixie cruiser off a rack in a store. If you get that for 20$, you'll already be spending more money than it's worth on a couple cans of paint, a couple tires/tubes, and maybe a new seat and still have an absolute abomonation of a ride.
>>2060346 No , because the frame doesn't even have brake fixing spots somewhere or other essential components.
>>2060591>the frame doesn't even have brake fixing spots somewhereIt's a coaster brake.
The Melbourne Metro Tunnel just opened. What are some other ongoing transit projects that you are excited about?
>>2060267>Lots of small design problems that make it clear CRRC isn't in the same league as western builders:Define "western builders". The Swiss federal railways bought new tilting trains from Bombardier, these were delivered late and worked so badly that they had to deactivate the tilting mechanism for good and turn them into normal trains. Adding to that were countless other faults that required lots of downtime for repair. The trains now work, but their ride quality is significantly worse than the older trains.
>>2060282>Define "western builders".Not going to let you pilpul me
>>2060273Forgot to reply. >I think the cost overruns the MBTA had will haunt the CRRC's attempts to expand into the US. I think that Congress or at least the White House has pretty much banned China from being a rolling stock manufacturer in the US.>However I also don't discount the power of corruption and outright ineptitude of transit agencies either.While agency incompetence and soft corruption are definitely an issue in American transit agencies, I personally would place the majority of the blame with the state legislatures. Those fucking inbred dumbasses are allergic to spending a dollar this year to save ten dollars next year. Just look at the recent SEPTA crisis or all the shenanigans around the NYC MTA. I do have hope for the new Illinois NITA that starts operation in June.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP_bUVc7o7A> As a train enthusiast, none of these are brightlines fault. The only reason they have so many deaths are because of people doing stupid things around the tracks like trying to beat the train, or walking on the tracks. Do you autists not realize how sociopathic this makes you look?The train has killed over 180 people since 2017.It's killing a person EVERY THIRTEEN DAYS.
>>2059467Yes you may call us heartless but if your opinion is that your life and potentially the safety of others around you is worth a few minutes then frankly you deserve to die. You're willing to let other people die to convenience yourself.

How do you react when you see a landwhale approaching your seat?
The landwhale's opinion is not our problem in the 1st place

>>2060298>>2060316Why are you so intent on being contrarian?Yes, the FDA isn't doing what it can to prevent harm to Americans at an epidemiological level but instead works to facilitate the desires of corporatocracy.Why are you so intent on denying this truth?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfehGfSTu70Standards matter, rules matter, regulations matter.It's the peak of servile folly to abdicate these political and social tools to sociopathic oligarchs and corrupt lobbied politicians that will gladly sacrifice tens of thousands of negative health outcomes if it means an easy donor or a few good quarterly report.Stop being such fucking slaves damnit, this shit is literally spreading to Europe too now, like a cancer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--832LV9a3I

>The aircraft, registered as VT-EHH, was a Boeing 737-2A8F from the Baby Boeing family. Delivered to Indian Airlines in 1982, it later operated with Alliance Air before Air India converted it into a freighter in 2007.>It flew with India Post titles but was grounded at Kolkata Airport in 2012. Instead of being sold, scrapped, or parted out, the jet sat idle in a remote corner of the airfield and disappeared from the airline's fixed-asset documentation.>Kolkata Airport officials eventually contacted Air India to request the removal of the abandoned jet.>This prompted a detailed internal check that confirmed the aircraft had been omitted from multiple documents for years.>Air India CEO Campbell Wilson informed staff that, in the years leading up to privatization, VT-EHH was repeatedly left out of internal records.>As a result, the aircraft did not factor into the valuation during the Tata Group acquisition. Before privatization, the carrier did not maintain the kind of structured fixed-asset registers that well-run airlines use to track depreciation, parking charges, insurance liability, and maintenance cycles.https://archive.ph/cYDOd

Old thread from 2023 finally hit bump limit >>1955863New thread. "Cycling infrastructure" is harm reduction. But not in the way you probably think. The anti-bike crowd considers riding a bicycle on public roads as an offense against the interests of motorists. An so, they wish to create infrastructure to reduce cycling (harm). Yes! Those who advocate for "separate but equal" are (whether they admit it or not) working against the interests of bicycle users:-The American Automobile Association strongly supports bike lanes-Countries that place responsibility on car drivers have 70-90% fewer fatalities per billion km traveled by bike. This is of course beyond the pale, drivers must always have total immunity. But hey, look, green paint! We solved safety!-The true purpose of bike lanes is to neutralize the opposition by corrupting the discourse. Don't support bike lanes? Then you must not care about safety!-Bike lanes have a curious pattern of appearing where they are superfluous, and vanishing as you approach potential traffic conflict zones. This way, when you get run over by a dump truck making a turn, it's your fault! You shoulda been in the bike lane that wasn't there!In conclusion: bike lane activists hate cyclists and want to eradicate cycling as a form of transportation.

>>2059676everybody pays for roads, and we pay well for ityou're just making a slightly recursive "its always been this way" argumentmost people who own cars arent ideological car drivers like youif there's a nicer or overall cheaper, or more convenient option they will use it and eventually view it as just as natural as you view car dependencybeing less dependent on car transit allows the building of better cities where more people would gladly raise their kids, they are just better places to live

>>2060493Getting a bachelors degree is a hard requirement in aviation whether anyone likes it or not. It DOES act an a detriment if you don't have one. Don't listen to faggots saying you can survive without one, especially if youre already partways through it. I don't care if it's not a listed requirement for the majors, it is effectively required of applicants. It IS bullshit, it IS a bullshit requirement and ancestor worship. It doesn't matter, go get a bachelors and put it on your resume.
not all Part 141 schools are pilot mill, my way or the highway. It ended costing probably more than necessary, but me and my instructor basically treated our 141 syllabus as a 61 doing whatever we wanted and saw as fruitful. Yes, expensive, but good way to learn. Also our stage checks are not pass/fail.
>>2060549Appreciate it, anon. I'll stick it out and finish the degree. I'm already signed up for conscription in my country (Denmark), which I've been able to postpone because of uni, might see if I can even do a stint in the air force as an officer after I get my degree.
Mr. American Airlines Pilot, how do you feel about why your company is doing the worst out of the three major airlines? https://youtu.be/3_V6HJNDjDs?si=noZvfnsxqa4sysS_
>>2060569Yeah it's spot on. Bobby doesn't have a vision. That said, I live in domicile and AA is the best company for me due to that, as well and not being faggot tranny central like the other majors. So long as there are retirements and we keep widebodies, the comparative performance of the company doesn't really matter to a line pilot like me. Unless AA gets to Spirit levels of doom and gloom, I'll be here and direct deposit will arrive twice a month. If anything, Kirby will be the downfall of UA due to overextension, faggot worship, his knocking up of flight attendants (he did it at America West), or general shitty attitude. I'd look to big Ed at DL for sane realistic progress.
