They have a higher population in just your neighborhood in Bangkok don't they? I was just looking at a couple of pictures of Bangkok yesterday and damned if I could see any bike traffic. Of course it was in the downtown area. Well, yes. the population of Bangkok is in excess of 5 million. :-) But the discussion you responded to was commenting on the number of automobiles shown in a photo and speculating on whether this was a factor of the total number of people who lived in the place. Actually, I suggested that the lack of traffic and parked automobiles might have been a result of the 3D crosswalk art. I also speculated that there was plenty of traffic before they were installed, and that all the drivers fled from the area when they saw the 3D pavement art, possibly to avoid accidentally ramming the blocks. It seems that most of the online photos and graphic simulations are devoid of automobiles. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=3D+pedestrian+crossing It is written that anything worth doing, is also worth overdoing: https://www.funzug.com/index.php/artwork/incredible-3d-zebra-crossings-from-around-the-world.html "Velvet rope crosswalk in Montreal, Canada" https://800016.xyz/files/funzug/imgs/creativity/3d_zebra_crossings_03.jpg Maybe that will work on a dedicated bicycle lane. However, I still prefer a brick wall border. Apparently it was one painting in one small town: "In the small fishing town of Ísafjörður, Iceland, an exciting development in road safety has just popped up, almost literally. A new pedestrian crossing has been painted that appears to be 3D by way of a cleverly-detailed optical illusion. Icelandic environmental commissioner Ralf Trylla called for its placement in Ísafjörður after seeing a similar project being carried out in New Delhi, India." The Wiki tells us that the population of Ísafjörður, Iceland, is 2,600 people. You can see a photo of the town center at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:I...ity_center.jpg -- cheers, John B. |
