Not Just Bikes | This Electric Ferry is Great @NotJustBikes | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Oslo has electric ferries that are used to travel across the lake to various suburbs. In this video, I take the ferry from Nesoddtangen to see what it's like to commute by ferry during rush hour.

Stroads are streets that are designed like roads and in doing so, fail at being good at either one. They are too sprawling and hostile to be good streets, and they are too busy and complicated to be good roads. Stroads are inefficient, unsafe, expensive, and ugly.
This video introduces the concept of Stroads, and talks about why you will (almost) never find these kind of places in the Netherlands: because here all roads need to have a single purpose as either a motorway, connector road, or end-destination street.
The name stroad was invented by Strong Towns as a way to explain why road design in the US is fundamentally broken.
