Idk about on city streets, but rumble strips have saved my life several times on the highway. I had a long commute for a while a few years ago and would regularly struggle with staying awake. A few times I drifted off and was alerted by those strips.
Literal life saving infrastructure

Just a lack of political will, and a culture that prioritizes car drivers over all other road users

Can’t fix shortsightedness. One of my main reasons of coming is so my son can see the trains.

(maybe not perfect here but..) why dont more roads utilize rumble strips to raise driver awareness in certain areas?

That place is awful all around. Bad service and terrible food.

I ride a Vespa down Cary going to work everyday. If I get behind a box truck, or the like, and want to change lanes, those signs come out of nowhere. And they never last. There one day and smashed to shit the next leaving just the bolted base in the middle of the road. Waste of money and super hazardous.

They worked fine in other cities I’ve lived where the driving culture is different. They cannot and will not work in RVA because the driving culture is too aggressive.

Came here to say Pho Thein Phat. My favorite pho joint. I miss living close by, but will still always make the trip whenever a friend suggests it.

Hell yeah! We need more housing especially affordable housing, more density, car-light neighborhoods, and strengthen public transit

I’ve heard Hollywood Cemetery is THE spot. But basically anywhere in the city is gonna have a bunch of everything you need to make the game fun.

Yeah this is so bizarre to me. Is there a paint shortage I didn't hear ahout? They redid Main street through the Fan in December and repainted them with the same half-assed crosswalks that nobody stops at

My favorite is probably Blue jay way to Moonshine at Pocahontas.
If I'm gonna drive a couple hours nothing beats snowshoe.
