No one should get to build or perpetuate a system that knowingly and consistently puts people in harm's way and then call those people "vulnerable"

#CarBrain #RoadSafety #VisionZero #NoMoreVRU (7/7)

The term #VRU implies that being in danger (e.g., in danger of being hit by someone driving a car on a poorly designed street) is a condition the so-called vulnerable user opted in to.

#CarBrain #RoadSafety #NoMoreVRU (4/?)

In 2024, I resolve to push back every single time someone uses the term #VRU, or #VulnerableRoadUser.

It's a transportation catchall for "humans not safely ensconsed inside a motor vehicle," and it's lazy, inaccurate, offensive, and counterproductive.
