#MovingTogether22 session on safety. MassDOT Safety Engineer Bonnie Polin, “There have been 418 road fatalities in 2021, up from 393 in 2020. We are trending in the wrong direction.” Focus needs to be on speed management practices, address high risk areas, and expand education.

Great to see Bonnie Polin @MassDOT Safety team calling for safe vehicle designs which includes emergency vehicles. (Let’s not have large emergency vehicles be reason to deny safe streets features like raised crosswalks & bump outs at corners!) #MovingTogether #MovingTogether22

We need to look into the data on these types of crashes! Any historical data recorded on road temps?

Air temp vs road temp could be the difference between a safe ride and a near death experience. -3 yesterday after a prolonged period of cold weather. Road temps will be below freezing today, especially gravel roads. If you see rain, be prepared for icy roads. @baystateroads
