Separate traffic lights for pedestrians, bikes/scooters, and for cars. Still chaos though

Barcelona has everything. Great architecture, food, fashion, people, transit…
But most importantly, a Gucci store. And apparently a Leo Suarez store.

On an unrelated note, highly recommend checking out what Culver City is up to next time any of you are in the Los Angeles area. Downtown was full of life and pedestrians, and our hotel was walking distance to the Expo Line (er, “E Line”) and frequent bus service from both Metro and Culver City Bus. He’s a few pics I snagged from my phone, nothing fancy. Note how full that pedestrian plaza was even at 9:30p.

Bonus shot: curb-protected bike lane in Bankers Hill, San Diego. Yellow signal on the right was for bicycles. This opened back in spring, if I recall correctly, paired with one going the opposite direction on a neighboring street.
