Re: How would you write ideal ebike regulations (Part 2)
Here you go Lock, the ideal ebike regulations would be to simply ban all cars and trucks, leaving all that infrastructure for ebikes alone. Then for the most part adequate rules and controls like speed limits and traffic lights are already in place, so the only change for ebikes could be that at red lights right and left on red are both allowed, as well as straight on red....assuming a sufficiently safe break in traffic. Not only would all cyclists, electric or otherwise, have safe roads for travel, but then pedestrians can have their sidewalks and paths back.

Right on GS! ("Good Sir")
Butt... (sp? Yeah, there's always a butt isn't there?) Folks (mostly perhaps North Americans) *love* their "cars", don't they?
The continued repetition of driving despite adverse consequences and a neurological impairment leading to such continued behavior? ...
Ooops... Sorry, wrong definition. That is almost word for word the Wikid Pee definition for the word ADDICTION.
Even on Alt. Planet ES some folks are desperate to "fine teat" (sp?) behaviours (via "laws") which some might conclude clearly have NOT worked (see the words "murder" and "mayhem". See also the phrase "over weight" maybe, or "loss of bodily functions" perhaps.)
(Silly bugger takes the plunge anyway.) Perhaps the horseless carriage for person-al use might instead be banned (there's that ugly/silly word again) just from city "down town cores"?
And yeah, most traffic lights and signs have been developed after much thought about how to control the runaway heavy and fast HC ("horseless carriage". Well, not the vehicle itself so much as the OPERATOR).
(Oh! I know. Lets try instead to refer to the operator as "the driver"? Think "golf clubs" perhaps.)
So, downtown cores. Airs smell better (who'd have thought!), walking to the corner store or crossing a street is no longer a life and death experience (Butt EVerybuddy loves to gamble, don't they?).
I expect there is a long list somewhere of the advantages to banning the HC in the DC ("downtown core").
L
(PS. But, but, but... Watt exactly constitutes the DC??? And so the endless wash(out) cycle carries on.)

My attention (as foggy as it may be... Burp) has been brought to the attention of this online article "German town abolishes traffic lights and codes. Accidents are now almost non-existent!"
As of this date, from 127 daze ago, here:

Hehe... In unrelated news, in the small town of Bohmte (a municipality - 2012 pop 12,706 - in the district of Osnabrück, in Lower Saxony, Germany), residential real estate prices have sky rocketed. (Even the fake estate stuff I guess.)
Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Anyway... If I has any Deutsche Marks (sorry, "Euros"), I'd be investing in some/any Bohmte property. Like, right now.

Agreed!LockH wrote:With adequate instruction, and correct "enforcement" ("penalties"), any "rules" should be minimal, and really only an after-thought.
Agreed?

Oh goody! Doggy treats back in the running maybe... Might try experimenting. (Only with "chicken fingers" of course. See watt flavours puppies really might prefer. Re "penalties" above.)

So. As of this date, over 800 Views from denisons on Alt. Planet ES, and no picking apart?
Universal Rules of Travel:
RULE ONE (for ANY vehicle operation in any atmosphere, aka "space"): NEVER DO HARM.
RULE TWO: NEVER TRUST (yourself, but especially not any other creatures, etc.)
Corollary: EG, your own and other vehicles, on land called the "terrain", etc. Most "stuff" will ALWAYS "change"/"wear" (and wear "out" and/or "break"), if not maintained or replaced as needed or desired). So, one should ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP PLAN and ALLOW FOR "CONTINGENCIES" (or be prepared to suffer the consequences).
RULE THREE: NEVER EXCEED PRUDENT VEHICLE OPERATING SPEEDS. (See Rule One, above.)
RULE FOUR: BE AWARE (Of other creatures and things eg your own vehicle operating indicators.)
