VisionZero … how many politicians, civil servants & council officers actually understand it? #safesystems

It's as if road danger is systemic rather than 'accidents' being caused by motorists. In Ireland the tactic of repeatedly urging motorists to be careful has not worked. And certainly has not worked for those of us who would like to use our roads without carrying a 1500kg raincoat. #SafeSystems

My article on #RoadSafety #Nepal. Need #safesystems approach, good post-crash care, replace #accident by #crash, #collision, #roadtraffic #injuries.Thk @Puspa_RPant @BhagirathYogi @bhatta111 @RepublicaNepal. @IHME_UW @WHO @nirc_nepal @UNRSC @WorldRescueOrg

The evidence is already in front of us, every day, on every street. #VisionZero means designing streets where these incidents are far less likely to happen. Because predictable harm shouldn’t be normalised & #SafeSystems aren’t optional, they’re overdue #SafeStreets #RoadSafety 3/3

This is a really good podcast about the #SafeSystems Pyramid and how public health can improve current approaches to traffic safety in the US streetsblog.libsyn.com/episode-453-...

The bet you're making is that drivers will be less likely to intentionally murder you than to accidentally murder you #safesystems

Land use and network design set exposure, the prevailing speed environment, trip length, and congestion/queue conditions that drive risky behaviors often before an engineer is asked to provide comment. A key part of #safesystems

Still time to join us today (10amPT/1pmET) to learn how cities are assessing & rightsizing the role of traffic enforcement in #VisionZero #SafeSystems: visionzeronetwork.org/upcoming-web...

Thanks Jillian. The reporter was one of the authors of this @signalhfx.bsky.social report so she was pretty clued up. I drilled into her the importance of #SafeSystems language in the story, although appreciate they don't always have full editorial control signalhfx.ca/halifax-road...

I'm interested to see a response from @billygillishrm.bsky.social to this question, particularly in light of a youth being struck in a crosswalk this week by a driver who then left the scene. #SharedResponsibility needs to be replaced with #SafeSystems framing www.roadsafety.unc.edu/wp-content/u...

And I'll add to this that we are advocating for an evidence-informed #SafeSystems approach, not a NIMBY-informed, gaslighting one. We already know what is needed, but we lack leadership in #ZeroVisionHFX www.who.int/publications...
