#SafeSystemsApproach
Yes, many more of us 'multi-modal citizens' (thanks @brenttoderian.bsky.social) than 'avid cyclists'. Safe infrastructure and a #SafeSystemsApproach to make the transportation network safe for all transportation modes.

“The 58-year-old woman behind the wheel of the Malibu remained at the scene and was not charged with a crime.”

why not? @mayor.nyc.gov should make an example of this driver.

Yes, we need #SafeSystemsApproach enacted, with #IntelligentSpeedAssist and #AutomaticEmergncyBraking. Habitual offenders laws need to be passed/enforced. #SpeedKills
All vehicles should have speed governors. This chud shouldn’t have had access to a vehicle capable of such speed. There is no need.
His parents failed as well. Boys who have nothing else going for them but “I can drive a car! I can drive a car fast!”

So at the same time that driving is making Americans unhappy they are crashing into kids, people biking/walking, and other people in cars/trucks, at an alarming rate causing record number of fatalities. #StopKillingKids #SafeStreets4All #SafeSystemsApproach
“The United States, with its enormous highways, sprawling suburbs & neglected public transport, is one of the most car-dependent countries in the world. But this arrangement of obligatory driving is making many Americans actively unhappy, new research has found.”

How extreme car dependency is driving Americans to unhappiness
A car is often essential in the US but while owning a vehicle is better than not for life satisfaction, a study has found, having to drive too much sends happiness plummeting

American 'Kindermoord' in and around school drop off areas. Value kids lives over movement of cars/SUVs/trucks. We need #SchoolStreets #BikeBus #WalkingSchoolBus #SafeStreets4All No #DangerousByDesign vehicles on the road #SafeSystemsApproach

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-...

The #NTSB has done some great work investigating traffic crashes. They have made safety recommendations to #NHTSA. It is up to congress, along with federal, state, and local transportation agencies to enact the recommendations. @jenniferhomendy.bsky.social #SafeSystemsApproach #SafeStreets4All
January 31, 2025 at 3:02 PM
Yes, another bright shining light lost in a public space being inappropriately dominated by car/truck culture. America mourns another tragic loss of life resulting from a failure to enact a #SafeSystemsApproach across the country which would make it safer for all modes of transportation.
July 13, 2026 at 1:15 PM
'Kindermoord' continues unobstructed in the US as a result of dangerous streets and some drivers of lethal vehicles exercising their 'freedumb'. #SafeInstructureDesign #IntelligentSpeedAssist and #AuomaticEmergencyBraking now. #SafeSystemsApproach #SafeStreets4All
More traffic violence in Queens. This won’t garner as much attention or outrage as the Williamsburg bike lane.

The driver blasted past a vehicle that was stopped at a red light, struck two young girls, then fled. This *exactly* how a driver killed 8 year old Bayron Arroyo.

Preventive might work better than punitive, as the children might still be alive? #SafeSystemsApproach in overcoming #Motonormativity? The US and Canada should require vehicles be equipped with #AutomaticEmergencyBraking and #IntellligentSpeedAssist
May 19, 2025 at 12:39 PM
#MotonormativityFreedom? #CarCultureFreeDumb? What if there was technology that could keep this from happening? Wait, what, there is but NHTSA is not requiring it on all new vehicles after recommended by NTSB? #SafeSystemsApproach

A person driving a #DangerousByDesign vehicle crashed into an restaurant full of people. Why are drivers going out of their way to crash into things? No agency assigned in headline by news agency. #AutomaticEmergencyBraking #SafeSystemsApproach #Bollards needed
July 6, 2025 at 10:46 AM
Yes, and we can use safe separated infrastructure, complete streets design, lower speed limits, to help change perception and provide safe spaces for all transportation modes to operate. But can we get elected officials to take action? #SafeSystemsApproach
February 16, 2025 at 2:08 PM
Yes, #SafeSystemsApproach requires and all above approach, starting with changing the way our infrastructure is designed, engineering in traffic safety, focusing on changing #Motornormativity #CarCultureBias, and educating students how to navigate the transportation network using all modes safely.
February 10, 2025 at 4:44 PM
Yes, and design safer infrastructure, while educating children and adults on how to navigate the transportation system. There is a significant lack of #TransportationLiteracy in the US. Like one and done on drivers test while traffic laws change every year. #SafeSystemsApproach
December 16, 2025 at 2:31 PM
What will it take for Cincinnati to achieve zero traffic crash related deaths? Helsinki, Finland, has achieved this goal. I guess you need to care more about life than the movement of cars/trucks. #Places4People #SafeStreets4All #SafeSystemsApproach 'Killed by a Traffic Engineer', Wes Marshall
July 28, 2025 at 1:23 PM
Yes, we need #MultiModalCitizens, multiple transportation options, safe infrastructure for active transportation, #SafeSystemsApproach in policy, and #TransportationLiteracy #MobilityEducation in PreK-12. #Walk #Bike #Transit #Train #3C&DCorridor #IndependentMobility4Kids
June 28, 2025 at 12:07 PM
'Kindermoord' continues in America thanks to #Motornormativity #CarCultureBias, and elected officials who fail to take necessary action to protect people using our transportation network. #SafeSystemsApproach #SafeStreets4All
March 30, 2025 at 12:59 PM
To me it is all about where we emphasize priority, traffic enforcement, and education, are only a part of the solution. We need a #SafeSystemsApproach, prioritizing safe infrastructure design, #IntelligentSpeedAssist #AutomaticEmergencyBraking, safer vehicle design, and less VMT.
