✏️Today I edited the walking icon from our corporate template to be more inclusive 👩🏿‍🦽Representation matters 🧑🏾‍💼It reminds us all: the transport system is for all 👩🏽‍🦯Seeing my edited icon brought a spark of joy & a tear: I saw myself & others w/ mobility aids represented for once

@Grecia_White Thank you very much @Grecia_White! Look forward to reading your work!

Motordom’s solution to cars being the villain was to diffuse blame to: 🚶pedestrians, 🚲cyclists & 🛣road design Then, few shared this view. But by 1920s, high #s road deaths split road safety advocacy. Chance for #motordom to demand pedestrians be responsible for their safety.

Before the mid 1920s the narrative of road safety was simple: 🚗Motorist = villain 🚶Victim = innocent Motorists were killing city people and city people were angry. Headlines & popular fiction reflected this. Then, mid-1920s #motordom managed to change the narrative & culprit.

How did US American cities become dominated by cars? In the 1920s, cars were unruly intruders, incompatible w/ #street uses then. 1st step: redesign streets for cars ➡️ Socially establish that #cars unquestionably belonged in #streets. A thread on #motordom/fighting #traffic
