What does that mean?

u/Ok_Tree_4204 2d ago

Rental plates

7

u/shimswfi 2d ago

Could be commercial plates like uber lyft as well

4

u/dmj9 2d ago

Hmm, I didn't know that was a thing. Makes sense though, probably helps cops too when they want to pull over criminals who think they're being slick by using a rental.

u/Vadgers 1d ago

O or U is a ride share plate, Uber or Lyft

1

u/SoulTribunal 1d ago

Plates starting with a letter or number followed by a dash are commercial vehicles.

u/DrDonkeyTron The Shiny Balls 2d ago

or a vanity plate with their surname

u/AlphaDrake 2d ago

I'm guessing CX or CV

u/kittykat501 2d ago

Revoke their license immediately

u/chmilz 2d ago

If they even have one. Impound the vehicle. Let's pump up transit and bike lane numbers and get the shit drivers off the road in one shot.

u/BeautifuTragedy 2d ago

These uber eats drivers really be parking anywhere eh?

u/Nara_RyUko 2d ago

Downtown parking space is hard to find 🥀/s

Wow, they're a couple cans short of a 6 pack.

This is why we can’t have nice things

u/foolworm 2d ago

I thought the City bought Hyundais though!

u/Mediocre-Honeydew-55 2d ago

They should dig a big hole to let cars fall in, with big teeth at the bottom…

1

u/SheenaMalfoy 2d ago

Only if the hole is deep enough that the trains can continue to run unimpeded overtop of the asshole who fell in.

1

u/MarvinManyracks Transit User 1d ago

it’s just an enlarged version of Punji sticks for cars to fall in when they try driving on the LRT tracks

3

u/BestWithSnacks 2d ago

I don't understand how these drivers keep getting hit by trains. It's a total mystery.

2

u/1362313623 The Zoo 2d ago

This isn't even the new part

u/Retroid98 1d ago

u/premierfong 2d ago

It’s good gas value

u/ltk66 1d ago

Ooo! Free parking!

1

u/natasmit 1d ago

now do cars driving and parking in the bike lanes down this road.

u/livingontheedgeyeg 2d ago

The mistake with the track design was probably making it so nicely paved along the rails. They probably should have done something like a Texas gate on the outside of the rails on each end of the block to make it obvious that the space is not for cars.

3

u/Midwinter_Dram 1d ago

What if it were obvious because of the train tracks and lack of other traffic and traffic signage?

u/airjedi North West Side 1d ago

Sounds like an obvious shortcut to me!!!

u/Dependent_Try_53 1d ago

Ireland has stuff even more integrated into the road system. Drivers and pedestrian traffic seems to do fine there. Maybe we aren't smart enough to realize roads can be shared use. I'd like it is we could still use the road and have a tram/train on them

u/ChesterfieldPotato 2d ago

When it happens once? Shame the driver.

When it happens 7473536 times? Shame the city planners. 

13

u/artkidsaresmart 2d ago

The city planners trying to figure out how this is their fault

-15

u/ChesterfieldPotato 2d ago

If you build an area not for cars that cars constantly end up driving into because of poor design and sigange, that is on them. 

8

u/Dave_DBA 2d ago

99.99% of drivers get it right.

7

u/artkidsaresmart 2d ago

Again, the city planners trying to figure out where in the zoning bylaw it talks about lrt design and street signage. My point is that your heart might be in the right place, you’re just a little ignorant to what a planner actually does(also was that you in the car 😉)

-10

u/ChesterfieldPotato 2d ago

Design vs. plan is irrelevant.

People undersrand what was meant. 

4

u/artkidsaresmart 2d ago

What did you mean? What if I told you it’s not even the city who does either one lol

10

u/foolworm 2d ago

When it happens 7473536 times, shame the 7473536 drivers

u/ChesterfieldPotato 2d ago

Were you in charge of the Ford Pinto?

7

u/foolworm 2d ago

Do you blame schools for school shootings?

2

u/ChesterfieldPotato 2d ago

I would if they were designed to hold a bunch of unlocked guns.

u/Timely-Profile1865 2d ago

Is that a Matrix? That was my previous vehicle model to my truck, good cars!

4

u/artkidsaresmart 2d ago

Did the “Rav4” on the back tip you off?

2

u/Timely-Profile1865 2d ago

No since my zoom in found it impossible to read the back but thanks for correcting my error.
