This oughta work
(lemmy.world)
Germany is on the "just one more lane" side.
And firmly so. I think we do have lots of very smart science people analyzing traffic and coming up with solutions, as implied by the meme. It's just that if (!) politicians read their conclusions they just raise an eyebrow and order the one more lane.
so is canada. at least the province of ontario. "just one more lane will fix all traffic" for the past 20 years, im sick of hearing about it
the solution is in the works [forever]
Except it's wishful thinking because nobody wants to actually pay for any kind of infrastructure.
Is it for the auto-bahn?
China also has 25-lane highways tho.
Was gonna say, isn't this notorious photo from China as well?
I think this is a staging area for customs. You can see where it turns back to a normal road at the top of the image.
Singapore’s solution is similar to the Chinese one. There’s a limited number of car permits, and you can’t buy or import a car unless you have one. They change hands for more than the price of a car. One side effect, though, is that having a car in itself has become a status symbol.
Singapore's leadership is so based
Except their criminal system involves punishments like caning and executions, the latter applying to drug mules. It's barbaric.
Personally I prefer them to be canned after the execution, like sure some people prefer the freshness but I think it's just inhumane, like it's no different than killing a crab by boiling it.
They wonder why the world doesnt want them, it's because they keep adulterating the supply with drug mules. If they just stopped adding mules to the mix it would probably taste much better.
Singapore is effectively a one-party state, with a nominally democratic system expertly managed to prevent opposition parties from getting anywhere near power. If you ignore the question of Marxist-Leninist iconography, it’s more similar to China than a lot of people would admit (though is connected to the open internet).
William Gibson famously called it “Disneyland with the death penalty” in a WIRED article in the 90s.
Welp, they don't have it all figured out. In context I am impressed with how rapidly Suharto massively boosted and stabilised the country from the mess it was left to him in. It was brutal, but effective, and I can't fault that. And then his successors have largely kept Suharto's ethos of development, while reestablishing rights and freedoms to everyone Suharto made illegal. While there are many injustices I'm not aware of, it seems the leadership is dedicated to making a lot of positive choices.
I think the expensive licence plates are only for ICE cars and not for EVs? It's to combat pollution. Many Chinese cities also have good public transit
Yes, electric cars are exempt from the registration games. But with China's huge population, even if 80% of the city takes public transportation, that 20% who choose to drive still have enough cars to jam up the roads so they come up with these kinds of schemes to reduce traffic.
What is the German solution here supposed to be symbolising?
It's from a YouTube video (linked by the other reply) which discusses the mathematics of traffic flow modelled with linear differential equations using Newtonian physics and the optimal way to program AI drivers to reduce congestion. The video was made by a German.
It is intended to symbolise an excessively over-engineered solution to a problem, which is a common stereotype of German engineering.
