A portion of the Strøget street in central Copenhagen, Denmark, that widens out into a central “square” that often gets used for events or markets.

“Stuck Record Blues” 😢🎵🎤 from @carlafrancome.bsky.social on the grim state of Green Lanes if you happen to want to walk, wheel or cycle along it. A perfect 🧵 showing how we accept expansionary behaviour by motor traffic squeezing people out of the way into dangerous gaps of remaining space. 😬
