Tab Combs<p>Pulled some better pics of the <a href="https://triangletoot.party/tags/TruckBloat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TruckBloat</span></a> that's been clogging up sidewalks in <a href="https://triangletoot.party/tags/ChapelHillNC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChapelHillNC</span></a> lately. I can't make out plates, sadly, but I got a logo and a company name.

Tab Combs<p>See, you really do need a truck this big in order to make sure you block the entire sidewalk. A 1990s Tacoma would have left room for someone to go around and we can't have that.</p><p><a href="https://triangletoot.party/tags/TruckBloat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TruckBloat</span></a></p>

I bet most people would be surprised to learn that vehicles aren&#39;t safety tested with pedestrians in mind at all right now.</p><p>Seems like a &quot;no brainer&quot; to add dummy testing that simulates crashes with pedestrians.</p><p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/10/24241047/nhtsa-rule-pedestrian-safety-fmvss-suv-truck-design" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theverge.com/2024/9/10/2424104</span><span class="invisible">7/nhtsa-rule-pedestrian-safety-fmvss-suv-truck-design</span></a></p><p><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/transportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>transportation</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/safety" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>safety</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/safestreets" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>safestreets</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/truckbloat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>truckbloat</span></a></p>
