POLL: A Clear Hierarchy of Traffic

does lex hate ducklings? asking for a friend

What are we voting on

let's not forget airplanes and space shuttles being towed on huge vehicles, because whenever that happens even the duckling step aside to watch

most disgustingly savage, I assume

xp

remy is 100% otm and the fact that people dispute this is maddening to me

this is missing "turtles"

When I'm a cyclist I try to give priority to public transit unless I'm sure that I can get around them before they start moving again. Making bus drivers' days worse requires a lot of penance.

also someone train a neural network on a curated corpus of bicycles vs cars vs pedestrians arguments from usenet and tell us what it comes up with

turtles, armadillos and puppies are abstracted under "ducklings"

Puppies need subcategories: Puppies (unaccompanied) and Puppies (tethered to people)

While a steering wheel and a gas pedal are enough to inarguably turn most decent people into loathsome beasts, my weekdaily experiences in downtown Chicago suggest that handlebars are more often than not a gateway to possession by a demon that is unconcerned about the safety of everyone up to and including its host. Also, bike sharing is a wonderful idea in theory but in practice is often like giving a teetotaler a bump of coke and a samurai sword.

what about a puppy tethered to a baby

xp

puppy tethered to a baby riding a motorcycle

1) Winwood
2) Wood
3) Capaldi
4) Mason
5) Grech
6) Kwaku Baah
7) Gee
8) Gordon
9) Beckett
10) Hood
11) Hawkins

taxis didn't even make the list, good riddance to those guys (unless it's my cab)

xp otm

Where do we assume this hierarchy occurs?

If footpath, pedestrians.
If road, motor vehicles.
If cycle path, duckling.

all paths are roads, all roads are paths, also, these rules apply to off road areas like where infinity goes in his dune buggy

Off road is clearly ducklings, anything but road is ducklings really

plz post independent baby pedestrian pics

Yes, taxi drivers are like 900 on the list. Just ahead of cyclists.

do school buses qualify as "children" or are they only a variation of "public transportion"?

i ride a bike like it were any other vehicle, i.e. i stop at stop signs, i stop at red lights etc. I'm lucky to live in a city with lots roads, which while not being closed to motorized traffic are designated as bikeways and motorists can have no complaints about having to go slow because of bikes if they choose to use them (there are always busier main streets parallel to the bikeways).

do the ducklings have some kind of memorable theme song y/n?

It's a legitimate concern. Caught this snap on the way into work this morning:

I find wearing a crown while cycling makes drivers respect you more and if any of them still give you shit you can clock them with your sceptre

Best of all possible worlds:

I'm a bike person really but I voted motorcycles because c'mon...motorcycles. No for real though you can compete and even surpass traffic on almost all city streets & roadways, but you only need a few feet width of space to get around obstacles like garbage trucks, stopped cars, obstreperous babies, school buses. I have legit weaved between a bunch of fire trucks that had closed an entire 6-lane street because of a roof rescue situation and the fire fighters were like "No problem, come through here." In short, motorcycles.

Uber should've made it on my list. Especially after reading the New York Times piece on that ding-dong Travis Kaepernick whatshisface being a schmuckball par excellence, I will go out of my way to avoid going out of my way for any exploitative gig-based driving solution.

Wait! Except Fasten. I like Fasten.

ducklings and babies are like plastic bags and bottles, you should make an instinctual attempt to swerve and avoid them, but if you drive over them, nbd, shouldn't be in the road.

last autumn i was in cambridge and a bunch of tourists had stopped traffic to take photos of some turkeys. them birdy bastards are big and mean, and entirely undeserving of photographic recognition, and i was about to start blasting my horn. then, a turkey charged at the photographers and traffic unknotted quickly. but seriously, who the hell takes photos of jaywalking turkeys? even if i was in cambodia and a shitass cute slow loris paused in middle of the road, i wouldn't stop for it. ducklings are special. and yeah, include puppies and kitties. but only domesticated and adorable animals.

Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain, and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires-- at least in a poor country like Russia. In America it takes an automobile to produce this effect.
