    I know the intended meaning but…

    Just because you control the skies doesn’t mean you can’t let some missiles through. Technically speaking, they aren’t mutually exclusive. You can also choose not to let missiles through, if you control the skies.




  • Shit happens. I’m not saying this person is right to do what they did, but I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt that this was a mistake.

    You need to run awareness campaigns when you put in new traffic signals and enforce them so people know how they work.

    There are so many steps before going “fuck this guy” just on one interaction:

    1. Enforcement: make sure they know there’s a consequence

    2. Public transport: Give people who can’t drive worth a shit an alternative

    3. Engineered check: Raise a physical barrier to prevent cars from taking this position or prevent cars from using the intersection altogether. Or, grade separate cars and other modes of transportation

    The goal is safety and not just to shit on someone. It really could just be a mistake. We all make them. Nobody died this time. Make people aware so people don’t die next time.
