Train revenge? In a country where railways are not the prefered cargo transit line, it is relevant to notice the styling design proposed by Kenworth to optimize again truck freight is matching high speed train design elements: aerodynamism of the body and central position of the driver in the cabin https://lnkd.in/eT9fcyHB

Guess what uses a car park? Cars. And car tyres. Car tyres are the biggest threat to the lifespan of car park slabs. What can we do for concrete car parks, from day one, to be sure of their long-term durability, without premature maintenance costs? https://bit.ly/4bYicSW #Concrete #Construction #CarPark #Durability #AddingLifeToConcrete #Waterproofing #Maintenance #AssetManagement

SHARE THE LANE. WE'RE IN IT TOGETHER! Bicycles are considered “vehicles” under traffic laws, and cyclists are entitled to share the road with you. Before becoming aggravated and impatient because a cyclist is “in your way,” remember that this isn't just an object in your path. This could be your friend or neighbor, and they are very vulnerable compared to the safety of your car. August is National Traffic Awareness Month—a topic of extreme relevance to all of us at Blakemore Construction. As we continue to make improvements to roadways and walkways, we are reminded to make safe decisions on the road and to continually increase our knowledge about road safety and responsibility. #blakemoreconstruction #sharetheroad #nationaltrafficawarenessmonth #bikesafety

The car owners mainly don’t prioritize cleaning their steering wheel. They don’t consider it an essential maintenance priority. Read the blog: https://ow.ly/b88B50RMSIg #PakWheels #PWBlog #Tips #Clean #Steering #Wheels

Not for the first time, ever, but the first time on Linkedin, I am going to make a contentious comment. The Evening Standard newspaper has stated that Transport for London identified flaws in some elements of floating bus stops. Let's be realistic here. Floating bus stops; cycle lanes; pavements; and roads are relatively perfectly safe (sans pot holes). It is the people USING them that ARE the danger. Look at the video in the news article. CYCLISTS: SLOW down; LOOk around; be AWARE of other road users, especially moped users and pedestrians; GIVE WAY to people and vehicles in your path; STOP racing through traffic; STOP riding down the sides of large vehicles that are turning left or right; OBEY traffic lights; and please, please please STOP WHINGING about how hard done by you are. It is boring. Especially as many of you are causing YOUR own risk and your OWN danger. But of course, I am entirely wrong, and those 100 or so cyclists I see on my 20mph round trip everyday on my moped putting themselves at risk and danger, doesnt really happen. Apparently.

Road studs play a crucial role in improving road safety. They increase visibility on roads specially at night. The bright reflective material used in road studs reflects the headlights of a car, making it easier for drivers to see the road ahead. #reflector #bright #colours #visibility #road #night #rain #fog #safety #safetymatters #safetymanagement #safetymanagementsystems #driversafety #inspire #brand #herculean #stud #vehiclesafety

Shared Bike Lanes on a stroad? 🤷♂️ Who would ride there? In my #BeyondTypicals Random Recreation video this morning I found a five-lane section of 86th Street in Owasso, Oklahoma with lots of ROW and huge grass boulevards - and for some reason cyclists don't have a safe space to ride. I took an extra couple of minutes to insert one-way curb-level bikeways on each side of the road in a "Proposed" model. In retrospect this probably should be a two-way trail on one or both sides of the road, but my gut was to avoid the utility pole impacts that might have come with a wider shared use facility as an easier, lower-cost improvement.
