People driving cars feel more powerful relative to people they see walking or riding bikes. We need to support design for safe streets that acknowledges this human limitation.

This is what getting 130+ signatures in one day looks like. Knocked hundreds of doors and spoke to strangers who are all sick and tired of a city where even crossing the street is dangerous. Please give it your all for healthystreetsla.com. We have 3 weeks left.

Traffic violence needs to be treated with the same urgency as gun violence. Whether someone is killed by a car or bullet, the end result is the same. The status que for transportation is broken & we can’t wait a second longer to change our streetscape. Lives are depending on it.

1/ Crashes killed 59 people in New York City during the first three months of 2022. This is a 44% increase over this point last year, and the deadliest start to any year since #VisionZero began in 2014, according to our new analysis. Read full report: transalt.org/press-releases/…
A bar chart that is titled "2022 Has Had the Deadliest Start to Any Year Under Vision Zero." Below that reads, "If this trend continues, this will be the first year since 1990 that New York City has seen four consecutive years of increasing fatalities." The bar chart shows the number of people killed in crashes in the first quarter of every year since 2014. 2022 has had the most, with 59 fatalities.

“It's an easy thing for a politician to say that they’re committed to Vision Zero,” said Jeff Paniati, the executive director of the Institute of Transportation Engineers, “without actually doing anything different from what they were doing before.” bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Why ‘Vision Zero’ Hit a Wall

The traffic safety movement has saved lives across the European countries that adopted its principles. But in the U.S., deaths in participating cities have continued to rise.

Ya, we don't need those bike lanes on Riverside/Zoo Bridge. Speed limit's 25mph, sharrows will do just fine.

Beverly Hills did indeed remove most of its beg buttons during the pandemic although 99% of the 106 people they arrested for “safe streets” violations during the same time were Black so can’t really count that as a pedestrian safety win amp.theguardian.com/us-news/…

It's not too late to build cycling infrastructure that is all ages and abilities yet I can't help but ponder how different things would be in the U.S. if we had started in say 1990 or even 2000 usa.streetsblog.org/2021/07/…

Remember, a 13-year study of a dozen cities found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. And for sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. Via @StreetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/…

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA

Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Poor infrastructure makes LA one of the most difficult US cities to bike in. Cyclists hope the pandemic will change that

How bad is it is in LA? People living in the most impoverished neighborhoods of the county are now averaging about 36 deaths a day per 100,000 residents. Those living in the wealthiest areas are experiencing about 10 deaths a day per 100,000 residents. latimes.com/california/story…

In 1956, the US government poured billions into building downtown highways that were deliberately used to destroy Black and brown communities. Could this thoughtful "highways to boulevards" pilot help begin to right those wrongs? HT @NewUrbanism bit.ly/2Xs3HTg

Senate Considering $10B for Highway Removal — Streetsblog USA

Cities might soon get the kind of federal money they need to tear down the downtown highways that federal dollars paid them to build — and to reinvest in communities of color that those highways...

Every truly smart city in the world understands that greater urban success depends on supporting more healthy people trips with less space, public cost, emissions & pollution. In other words, more people trips with fewer vehicle trips. HT @nacto
