"At first we thought this was bad, but then we realized the driver was just distracted like every other driver. The victims survived so we file this as an Oopsie." @NYPD61Pct

Some participants, however, used the conference and its sequels to promote a redefinition of streets as motor thoroughfares, defending speed and shifting responsibility to pedestrians and a minority of reckless drivers.

One hundred years ago next week: On December 15, 1924, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover convened the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety in Washington.

"The distraught driver said the child came out of nowhere and there was no way to stop in time. The driver stayed at the scene and is cooperating with police."

Cyclists, be visible* on the roads. Front and rear lights, fluorescent vest, reflectors, ... And don't forget your helmet. *be careful to avoid the mistakes of motorists, who do not look at the road and will kill you without realising it. x.com/BikingJulien/s…

I think about this graphic every time I cross a street in the U.S.

More of this @TxDOT. 🙌 Driver behavior is the primary threat to pedestrians. Americans don't need walking PSAs, they need driving PSAs.

They claimed traffic congestion was caused by trains, street cars, wide sidewalks, urban neighborhoods... So we destroyed all those things to "solve traffic", yet traffic is worse than ever. Now they're blaming bike lanes? It has always just been cars - cars cause congestion.

Can we collect all the best memes and biggest meltdowns from the Trump court case in one thread?

FATAL PEDESTRIAN COLLISION: At approx. 10:30 pm, officers responded to Martin Luther King Jr Hwy & Columbia Park Dr for the report of a pedestrian collision. Once on scene, they located an adult female in the roadway. She was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced deceased.

'Crossing the road in Bradford'. Would we accept similar violent behaviour in any other domain of our lives? Then why do we accept it on our streets? Support @ianwalker and me studying this with your donation: whydonate.com/en/fundraising…

Watch: It appears someone wasn't paying attention. This is the four-car crash on the inbound express lanes of the 14th Street Bridge. Still in the process of being cleared, with one lane getting by to the left. #safety #traffic #crash #collision #accident

Caught on camera: A single-vehicle crash with an SUV running off the road and head-on into two poles in Arlington early today. It happened at 12:45 a.m. on S. Walter Reed Dr. and S. Arlington Mill Dr. Several people stopped to help. It appeared the woman driving the SUV did not go with @ArlingtonVaFD and was instead detained by @ArlingtonVaPD.
