A drivers license but for Costco carts
These unsafe choices often endanger other drivers -- it's not just cyclists and pedestrians who are at risk. Things like a driver speeding past a cyclist around a blind corner and coming a few feet away from slamming into an oncoming vehicle. Fewer cars and safer streets are good for drivers too!
Infrastructure can do a lot to calm traffic & make our streets safer, by forcing slower speeds etc.
But increasingly I’m seeing drivers make *really* intensely unsafe choices - due to staring at their phones or aggression - that infra can’t really fix.
We need fewer cars on our streets.

An example of how dangerous our streets are right now:
My 24 min round trip 🚲 ride to get groceries (1/2 Midtown Greenway w/ no car traffic) included…
School bus driver slammed on their brakes & nearly crashed into a city bus @ 36th/Nicollet. Light was already 🔴, not sure why they didn’t see it.

Trunk or treats are a perfect microcosm of how car culture reinforces itself.
Halloween is dangerous for kids because of car drivers. So parents drive to a central location and use car trunks instead of front doors. Those parents driving mean MORE drivers on the road, making other kids unsafe,

Kids come to our neighborhood for Halloween every year but I have noticed fewer in recent years .. and I have a theory that “trunk or treats” are becoming the norm. And I hate it. The epitome of car- centric behavior.
Why the ‘Trick-or-Treat Test’ still matters for better neighbourhoods. My past @opinion.bloomberg.com article.
Every year, #Halloween trick-or-treating reveals a LOT about good and bad urban design and more walkable neighbourhoods all year long.
Think about it as you look/walk around on Halloween.

Truck drivers lined up side by side to stop someone from taking their own life. Experts say a crisis is often temporary, and showing up can change everything.

So you think it's good to let drivers block bus lanes?

Car drivers can't even be trusted with two dimensions. Why the fuck would we let them have a third.

35% reduction in crashes! Bike lanes are better for drivers, too!
Almost as an aside, this story on Lime bikes explains that Victoria invested in safer road infrastructure and bike parking, substantially lowering bike thefts and road accidents for all users. And pedestrian and cycling modal share continue to rise.

If you cannot hear, you are not safe. This is why drivers are banned from rolling their windows up and/or listening to music.
"It doesn’t matter if you are walking, riding, or driving... if you cannot hear, you are not safe"
Yet another victim blaming traffic violence op ed that ignores that deaf people exist and deserve to be safe while using our streets.

Op-ed writer: “Who is responsible for keeping another safe? We all are.”
This claim sounds intuitive and harmless, but it’s wrong.
In fact, it helps explain why Americans are much more likely to die in a crash than people in other rich nations.
Let me explain. 🧵

How bad are drivers in Leicester? Well my friend came over and rang me to say they were at the station so I drove to collect them and kept them on speaker. All they had to do was cross the road, and all I heard down the phone was "Oh my God! He just... oh my God! All the drivers here want to die!"
