Although
this is not one of my favourite days of the year I must admit that I found
rather funny and amusing the following stories with urban traffic themes.
The first one comes from Philadelphia USA. Watch the Mayor announcing the E-lane initiative where pedestrians can
walk and use their mobile at the same time safely.
The second one comes from Vancouver Canada where Vancouver Observer online newspaper announces the province's new mandatory pedestrian helmet law. This one if it was on Brisbane Times it would be more believable since Australia has already the mandatory cyclist law.
The
first really interesting April fools’ day story about traffic and
transportation that made world headlines was the Copenhagen’s new subway. It looked as
if one of its cars had an accident, and had broken through and surfaced on the
square in front of the town hall.
April Fools ’ Day presents a great opportunity to draw peoples attention
to sustainable mobility and humour is quite an effective way to reach
behavioural change.
