"Everyone - whether driving, walking or cycling has a role to play in keeping our community safe."
-Mayor Andrea Horwath
My question is simple: What about those who design, approve, build and maintain hostile road design? Do they have a role?

A crossing guard was killed by the driver of a dump truck yesterday. absolutely heartbreaking.
Look at our intersections, look how hostile these are for people/children - this is what we continue to build and defend at all costs. These aren't accidents, these are results. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Een wetenschappelijke benadering ideologisch noemen is m.i. niet correct. Wel is een wetenschappelijk paradigma waardengeladen, net als ideologie. Maar ideologie als politiek begrip is gerelateerd aan macht, wetenschap aan inzicht. En inzichtelijk handelen.

Europe has shown it is possible to significantly reduce road user deaths if it becomes a priority to do so, and steps are taken to actually implement a #SafeSystemApproach. #VisionZero
This Europe Day let's celebrate the incredible success story of road safety in the EU. Thanks in no small part to EU vehicle safety standards, road deaths have declined substantially over the last 25 years. Let's keep working together to turn all those bars green!

Who drove 71mph westbound I-90 ramp to crosswalk?! Or 68mph at eastbound ramp crosswalk?!
Raised crosswalks make a big difference for safety. Great work by colleagues in @wsdot.wa.gov NW Region! wsdotblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/judk...

One thing that we do know is that while the status of the National Roadway Safety Strategy will certainly be in question under a new Administration, the #SafeSystemApproach is codified into federal law, as are vulnerable road users. There's also a lot that can be done at the state and local levels.

Fatalities and serious injuries associated with roadway crashes are a significant public health concern in rural areas. But many of these areas are using the #SafeSystemApproach.

It's unfortunate that Congress is apparently looking to eliminate references to #VisionZero in the latest House surface transportation reauthorization. Granted the #SafeSystemApproach is still there, but it's not the same messaging.
