David ZipperCar bloat is worsening congestion.In Bloomberg CityLab, I wrote about a groundbreaking new study that analyzed Minnesota road data from 1995 to 2019. The authors' conclusion: The surge in SUVs reduced highway capacity by 9.5%.Less highway capacity --> More slowdowns <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-25/bigger-heavier-suvs-worsen-traffic-congestion-in-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-25/bigger-heavier-suvs-worsen-traffic-congestion-in-us</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cars</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/highways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#highways</a>

BellingenNSWHighway expansions and road widening How America (Australia) Can Break Its Highway Addiction"After a century of rampant roadbuilding, the U.S. highway network is ubiquitous, dominating the American landscape in bucolic rural settings as well as dense urban ones. Rather than being a tool for mobility, it has become a monument to an auto-centric lifestyle that fouls the air and depletes the public coffers. Neither the country nor the planet can afford to keep expanding it.""At the federal level, even asking questions about the collective climate impact of highway building appears verboten." >> <a href="https://slate.com/business/2024/08/construction-traffic-cars-driving-transportation-highway.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://slate.com/business/2024/08/construction-traffic-cars-driving-transportation-highway.html</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Sprawl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sprawl</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/roads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roads</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/highways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#highways</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/expansion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#expansion</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cars</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/automobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#automobility</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/industry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#industry</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/asphalt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#asphalt</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Motordom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Motordom</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MobilityDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MobilityDesign</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ClimateBreakdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateBreakdown</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollution</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NSW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NSW</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/CoffsHarbour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CoffsHarbour</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/bellingen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bellingen</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/GlenifferRoad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlenifferRoad</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 22 February 1924: WINTER TRAFFIC OUTLET GISBORNE–NAPIER HIGHWAY (BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) GISBORNE, This Day. The Gisborne–Napier highway, upon which the Public Works Department has been concentrating its energies for the past three years, is now approaching completion, metal having been deposited along its full length. <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Gisborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gisborne</a> is thus assured of an outlet during the winter season, which it has not hitherto poss[ess]ed. The Department’h [sic] intention is to lay a bitumen surface on the road. The Chamber of Commerce is sending a message to the Hon. J. G. Coates, congratulating him on the completion of the road, and the removal of the isolation of the district. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19240222.2.42" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19240222.2.42</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Roading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Roading</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Highways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Highways</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Construction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Construction</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

BellingenNSWWhere is the walking and cycling infrastructure ? Let's redirect funding from roads to walking and cycling infrastructure. "Australia spends $714 per person on roads every year – but just 90 cents goes to walking, wheeling and cycling. Unfortunately, that’s how much the Australian government has invested per person annually on walking, wheeling and cycling over the past 20 years.""As a result of this over-investment in car road-building, Australia has the smallest number of walking trips of 15 comparable countries across Western Europe and North America. Many Australians are dependent on cars because they have no other choice in terms of transport options." "Road use is inherently dangerous – in Australia last year, more than 1,300 people died on our roads, which is more than 25 people a week." "The typical Australian household spends 17% of its income on transport – with car ownership making up 92.5% of that figure, compared to 7.5% on public transport.""A major source of all emissions in Australia are from driving." "Redirecting funding from the current road budget makes the most sense, because getting more people walking, wheeling and cycling eases pressure on the transport system (think of school holiday traffic). ""When it comes to transport, the saying goes “we get what we build” – so if we build more roads, we get more people driving.

Infections such as typhoid and cholera, a major cause of <a href="https://c.im/tags/illness" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#illness</a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/death" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#death</a> early in the 20th century, have been reduced dramatically. In addition, the discovery of antimicrobial therapy has been critical to successful public health efforts to control infections such as tuberculosis and sexually transmitted diseases.Safer and Healthier <a href="https://c.im/tags/Foods" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Foods</a> have resulted from decreases in microbial contamination and increases in nutritional content. Identifying essential micronutrients and establishing food-fortification programs have almost eliminated major nutritional deficiency diseases such as rickets, goiter, and pellagra in the United States.Healthier <a href="https://c.im/tags/Mothers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Mothers</a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/Babies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Babies</a> have resulted from better hygiene and <a href="https://c.im/tags/nutrition" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#nutrition</a>, availability of antibiotics, greater access to health care, and technologic advances in maternal and neonatal medicine. Since 1900, infant mortality has decreased 90%, and maternal mortality has decreased 99%.<a href="https://c.im/tags/FamilyPlanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FamilyPlanning</a> has provided health benefits such as smaller family size and longer interval between the birth of children; increased opportunities for preconceptional counseling and screening; fewer infant, child, and maternal deaths; and the use of barrier contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and transmission of human immunodeficiency virus and other STDs.Control of Risk Factors for <a href="https://c.im/tags/HeartDisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HeartDisease</a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/Stroke" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Stroke</a> such as <a href="https://c.im/tags/smoking" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#smoking</a> and high blood pressure.
