"Road designers can induce slower speeds. Urban planners can narrow arterials and simplify driving patterns. Local governments can improve walkability and pedestrian safety." #SafeInfrastructure #BikeEd #BikeBus #WalkingSchoolBus #ActiveKids #Health #WellBeing #Community
Harvard Magazine's new cover story delves into road safety.
I explained the fallacy of blaming individuals for crashes:
Americans “blame individuals for what really are systemic & societal problems...road users are just going about their daily business. It’s not their job to build a safe system.”

States have many policies to stop risky older drivers from renewing their licenses. But in practice, it's often adult children who must decide when to take the car keys away from an aging parent.
As parents age, their children face hard choices about when to take the car keys

Everyday, everywhere in the US, are people driving and thinking that 5, 10, and even 36 mph over the speed limit is fine. #SafeInfrastructure #IntelligentSpeedAssist and #SafeSystemsApproach needed now. We need a #Paradigm shift from #Motonormativity to #SafeStreets4All.
Latest report is driver was going 61 miles per hour in a 25 because she didn’t want to be late for work. I doubt that going the speed limit would have taken that much more time and now someone’s child is dead. www.channel3000.com/news/police-...
Police: Driver that killed teen going 62 mph

#Electrification for the win. #EV #eBike #HeatPump #SolarPower #BatteryStorage and #SafeInfrastructure for active travel. Dems could help folks a lot with affordability by providing subsidies on these things to support transition to electrification. Walkable, bikeable, livable communities.
Thinking about this again today as we watch oil soar and talk about e-bike prices
It would be a huge win for public safety, the environment, and congestion if more cities (and states) across the country did rebates for Class 1 and 2 e-bikes. It's such an easy way to get people out of cars and onto bikes.
(I know some existing ones include Class 3, but most I've seen are 1 and 2)

Yes, but more people could ride a bike than drive a car. Many people who can't drive, don't want to drive, or should not be driving, find that there is a bike that can fit their needs. #eBikes #eTrikes #AdaptiveBikes #BikeEd in school, or as an adult, and #SafeInfrastructure are key.
