Traffic calming is another option. Hard to get up to lethal speeds whenever hitting a speed table at 25+ mph will trash your suspension. No need to enforce rules or write tickets. The results are immediate.

How hard is it to not park like an asshole? If people can't responsibly store their cars in the city, maybe they shouldn't drive one.

Can't say I haven't seen folks drop eggs on such vehicles.

The mods removed this? The carbrain in this city is real. Any talk of infrastructure that would drastically improve safety albeit at a slight inconvenience to drivers is blasphemous.
Meanwhile the annual US automobile death toll is 40,000+. At what point does it become an epidemic?

But I NEED to drive my car 0.5 miles to the store even though I have two fully functional legs. /s

I feel infrastructure improvements like daylighting would help. Any sort of barrier that would prevent parking. It would make the streets much safer.

To be fair, cars kill way more people. The off road vehicles are generally just annoying. Yet its young people the cities going after. Build some nice parks and crap instead of miles of pavement and these kids might find something else to do.

Lol. There was just a pic today of a car crashing into a bollard in front of City Hall. Bollards save lives!
