"(O)ur roadways reflect our priorities. As we consider a once-in-a-generation investment in infrastructure, we need a new transportation paradigm – one that prioritizes safety, and, in so doing, improves quality of life for us all." @pedbikebob @proulx_frank cc: @SecretaryPete

A great op-ed on Safety over Speed from @rebeccalsanders in @StreetsblogUSA this morning: usa.streetsblog.org/2021/07/20/op-…

Still true.

National Academies@theNASEM

In an article for @ISSUESinST, Rebecca Sanders argues that the U.S. needs to be more proactive in identifying high-risk road types and developing #RoadSafety standards that protect everyone — including bicyclists and pedestrians. Read: ow.ly/pKmj50SPhcP

Truly insane, particularly for a city that would cease to function if everyone tried to drive. Our deference to driver convenience knows no bounds.

Who is afraid of a 20 mph street? One where >90% of people hit will survive #SammysLaw allows a street that safe to exist in New York It doesn't require it, it doesn't impose it, it just allows it - like the vast majority of states do

Sammy's Law must be included in the final budget. hellgatenyc.com/ny-state-assem…

@duolingo, how do I reach customer service? I cannot connect to my children's accounts, even though I am paying for them. This is really frustrating.

Still don’t get why bike-lanes need to be separated, with real protected bike infrastructure, and why paint isn’t real infrastructure? “Paint doesn’t protect.”Watch this powerful before-&-after video of Lansdowne Street in #Melbourne via MelbourneWay. twitter.com/MelbourneWay/s…

@cgthigpen @BarbChamberlain @DrTaraGoddard @pedbikeinfo Also not ringing bells for me, but I would not be surprised by that outcome given that driver expectancy and behavior are affected by the environment.

Barb Chamberlain@BarbChamberlain·23 Oca

Transpo researchers, help me flesh out a memory with specific citations: Effects of a pedestrian overpass on driver speeds? Memory says drivers tend to speed up because they don't expect people to use the more direct street-level crossing. @cgthigpen @DrTaraGoddard @pedbikeinfo

Car dependency contributes to the mental health crisis in America. Here's Saturn, lacking self-awareness about social isolation on earth.

"This isn't normal. This is preventable." Thank you, @SecretaryPete. We can turn the tide of traffic violence in this country using a #SafeSytemApproach.

Secretary Pete Buttigieg@SecretaryPete

So many Americans have a personal connection to someone who has died on our roadways. It doesn’t have to be this way. We have an opportunity to honor their lives by designing safer streets toward a future with zero roadway fatalities.

"No one had asked my side of the story. Having my lung pierced, and [multiple fractures] was bad enough, being blamed for being hit in the newspaper was emotionally devastating" - @Itcouldbeme2019 First hand experience of #WindshieldBias by new @BikeLeague board member

Research proves that how the police and media write about traffic crashes affects how the public views both their causes and solutions. Vision Zero advocate Triny Willerton of @Itcouldbeme2019 explores how to do it better in honor of #WDoR2023. usa.streetsblog.org/2023/11/17/wor…
