anyone else get comfy watching cars go by? I count red cars, yellow cars, motorcycles, bonus if there's a firetruck If you're lucky and you have an observation spot near an intersection, you can judge drivers' complete stops, stopping distance from other vehicles, how smooth they stop, etc. I highly recommend binoculars, water and maybe some audio program thats ad-free.

Congrats, you're autistic, OP. Personally I don't find it that interesting but maybe a new vantage point would make it more intriguing to see. Or if I could get more into automobiles or some specific thing that'd make watching interesting. Could be fun to learn about buses and then try to spot specific models...oh yeah that's an Orion 06.501...I'm cooming.

I like browsing around my city's aerial imagery. In addition to general curiosity I use it to scope out places to bike and for editing openstreetmap.
https://opengis.regina.ca/PictometryIPA/ReginaIPA.aspx?lat=50.443904&lon=-104.604772 The neat thing is that using the control on the left you can view any area from one of 5 angles, NSEW and overhead (the dot). Unfortunately you have to zoom in super close before it cuts over to the high resolution imagery narrowing the field of view. Updates are a bit slow and it can get flakey if you pan outside the permitted area. Also it sometimes randomly switches between capture campaigns.

>>1903866 Holy fuck what a shithole. 95% of that place looks like parking lots and nothing else.

>>1903868 Yup. Stuff keeps burning down in the downtown and never gets replaced. Most of the flyovers are during dingy times of year because the city doesn't want leaves getting in the way of what's on the ground. The company screwed up last year taking the photos in late May, so there will be a do over in a few weeks this year.

>>1903853 Don't like intersections. But watching roundabouts or clover interchanges is nice. I like when traffic is smooth and there is no stops.

>>1903853 I like it too. Man can find joy and comfort in even the simplest (or rather most complex) of things. A shame normies can't see it.
