@stux @loke @notjustbikes The license plates are Dutch. The tram is number 10, and it's a "rondrit", a tour of the city.Based on a Google search, I'm confident that this is Rotterdam.

@stux Great post but poor alt txt, which should describe the picture so people with impaired vision can understand your point. How about: "Photo of a European street with a tram track and a small parking area where cars are parked perpendicular to the adjacent street. Most of the parked cars are fairly short and so don't proteude into the street, but one is a giant American SUV that is so long that its front end blocks the approaching streetcar."

@stux Years ago we were on a sidestreet in New York and a fire engine appeared with blaring sirens and its way was blocked by a double-parked car. The fire engine had an enormous rubber fender on its front and we soon saw why. Without a moment's hesitation the fire engine driver shoved the double-parked car along in front of it till it came to a gap in the cars. There it shoved the double-parked car off the road. A man riding shotgun in the fire engine threw a piece of paper out onto the car.

@stux Took a trip to Norway, then came home to an American city.I went out shopping two weeks after getting home, and noticed I felt very nervous. Couldn't quite place why.It was the proximity of the cars. Norway has huge swaths of streets that are pedestrian-only. In the US, we have streetside parking. I suddenly realized the low-grade survival scanning for people screwing up interacting with the curb had gotten switched off, and I was feeling it switch back on.

@stux This happens a lot in Oslo too. I would be in favour of a policy to outfit the trams with solid enough bumpers that they could just force their way through and let the car owner deal with the damage.This is probably not an example where that would be safe though. But there are many cases where pushing through would just inflict scratches and bumps.

@stux I would say rather this is why US cars don’t belong in Europe.Consider this point: cities that do not allocate infrastructure to cars, save 90% of all the resources needed to make a car centric world possible.Every city government must be made to understand this. A city without cars largely saves 90% of all the expense for itself and for its residents. Best of all city without cars takes a whole lot more money on the business businesses and people they invest in instead.

@stux We also don't need cars like that in the U.S., or at least parts of it - probably why I've never bought an American car - most are too big.A few weeks ago, we saw a play in San Francisco. Our vehicles (we had two) were small, foldable electric scooters that we "parked" in coat check. After it ended, one of the ushers watched us unfold the scooters & gave us a thumbs up - it took ~15 seconds.. Then we rode to the train station, folded the scooters, and got on a train for the trip home.

@Barbramon1 @stux Sadly Ohio has become "redder" over time & that's part of why we have more macho vehicles. We visit family in Pittsburgh, gas is usually about 20 cents a gallon more there, but they too seem to have macho vehicle syndrome.

@stux sometime in the 00s I first noticed how cars got bigger and people would drive vehicles commonly used for dirt tracks in the hills or so, and I thought it so counter intuitive it matched idiocy I started being so ecoclimate aware that I supposed cars would reduce and get smaller to make space for everyone else!

@stux Although, to extend an olive branch to the big vehicles: nowadays the people have become more and more reckless in traffic. Just watch the tons of "car crash compilation" videos on YT. That's why i don't drive a small car. I want to have a decent amount of metal around me just for the case that some maniac runs a red and might hit me. And to all the "use the bus" people: screw you. I like to drive my car and i will continue doing it. But anyway, a normal car shouldn't exceed 5m in length.

@stux did the owner pay the taxis for the people who couldn't get on with the streetcar? Because that's what they do in Germany with people who park their cars in the streetcar's way. All the people who are blocked in the streetcar get a taxi and the fares are billed to the guy (let's face it, it's always a man) who parked the car. As well as a fine and the cost for removing the car. And all of that money is payable before he can retrieve his car from the collection point.

@stux I mean, the fact that it doesn't fit in the space is the owner's problem. The fact that they parked it there anyway makes THEM the problem — at least until it gets towed, in about ten minutes flat I should think…

@stux @tantramar That's not quite true. If you have a farm, for instance, and you frequently need to transport a few cows in a trailer, you need a heavy and powerful vehicle. Judging by the looks of American streets, there are lots of farmers in the cities.

@stux I was trying to go shopping and some asshole with a giant SUV parked up and took over half the pavement due to the huge overhang of their shitbox’s massive front end.Like: “oh hey, love your compensation machine, that farted out a million metric tonnes of pollution into everyone’s airspace to drag your solitary lonely arse down to Lidls, such grace, so demure, definitely keying that thing like it’s a cybertruck when you aren’t looking.”But I didn’t.
