My class has gotten to this bright motor age of daring death drivers and the mechanical Moloch. I am reflecting again on the need to translate the transportation planning and engineering works of Knoflacher into English so that we in the car brained Anglosphere can understand what everyone else is doing.

This article about the infamous "Central Motorway" in Newcastle is proper carbrained. The Central Motorway and the other car-centric changes made in the 60s and 70s almost ruined the city and we're only gradually recovering and making the city centre walkable, rather than an absolute car sewer. Thank god the whole insane scheme with the elevated walkways and stuff never went into effect.

O.W. : Hey You! Come here please
Construction Worker: Yes?
OW: Do you think it is wise to have 7 vehicles lined up along the side of a busy two lane road blocking the walkway for old folk and children ?
CW: Well there's no place to park
OW: So, you are going to tell me that you expect seniors with mobility assistive devices, and small children on bikes, to walk or ride in the traffic lane while cars and transport trucks are travelling at 65 kms/hr?
Worker: Well there's no place...
OW (pissed off more) : Stop there. I am not interested in hearing excuses! You are literaly two houses from the corner where there is a subdivision, where everyone has a driveway so the street is clear for parking, and you are going to stand there and carsplain there is no place to park? You can't walk from there to your jobsite? How can you work in construction if you can't walk half a block? When at home, do you drive your car to the bathroom? Please get your supervisor right now.
Worker: We didn't think that...
OW: It's obvious you all didnt' think now please get your supervisor or provide the phone number of your company.
Supervisior approaches with two men: We are moving the trucks tright now, Ma'am.
