What are your favourite urban planning / transport terms?
Murder Strip: paint-only “bicycle infrastructure”.
Car Ticklers: pointless plastic wands that cars park over to block bike lanes killing cyclists to “grab a coffee”.
Beg Button: traffic light switch that leave pedestrians stood there for 2 minutes.
Ablism Hooks: Shit train bike closest that don’t fit any bikes.
Refuge Island: hide behind a bollard because a road is too wide to cross.
