Rethinking Streets in Paris
Back in July I made a video about Paris' public bicycle system, Velib. Its success must in part be credited to the provisions made for safe cycling and the understood "street code," where users are responsible for others whose vehicles are lighter than their own.
This video explores traffic calming amenities Paris has installed. For example, in several areas of Paris curbs have been removed and bikes, pedestrians, buses and taxis coexist at low speeds. On wider roads bikes share the BRT lanes with buses and taxis. Counter-flow bike lanes expand the bike network. Raised crosswalks and neckdowns slow traffic and make pedestrians more visible at intersections. Watch for more.
The film cuts out after about 1 minute (the guy is talking about street hierarchy) and goes back to the start. I tried 4 times. Maybe it needs fixing?

It's due to slow download speeds - ie. broadband that isn't!
Hello! Enjoyed your movie that found out through other people.
Took the liberty to transcript it and the subtitling it to Portuguese.

I'm having still a problem with translating technical terms
