#walkSafe
As research shows half of women feel unsafe on the streets at night - interesting to see this partnership between WalkSafe & Mitie so employers can use tech to make sure their staff get home safely

At least #Ptbo #walksafe didn’t include “See me flags”.
The perfect placement of The Ask sticker - directly on top of crossing flag instructions🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Pretty shocking findings from personal safety app WalkSafe

1 in 4 women harassed at work
1 in 7 face unwanted sexual behaviour

Research also shows many don’t feel confident enough to report it & 16% have left a job over it

I'm sceptical about improving safety of lone women walking at night using a phone app, but promoting it by claiming to understand the problem as the daughter of a police officer, and using the deaths of two women who died *because of the police* seems rather off ilovemanchester.com/walksafe-app...
New public safety app that will 'change the way we navigate the city' launches this September
A new era of safety begins in Manchester with the launch of the free WalkSafe app, empowering residents and visitors to navigate the city with confidence, day and night.

Asphalt art link seems relevant here asphaltart.bloomberg.org. Research: "city streets with asphalt art became considerably safer for pedestrians after incorporating art into roadway redesigns." assets.bbhub.io/dotorg/sites...

@globalnews.ca has reported on the #Ptbo #walkSafe campaign and I appreciate the journalist Marc Woodhouse dug a little deeper and also reported that #calmStreetPtbo, actual design changes, has been suspended.

To be clear, there is nothing “New” here.

Big love to A1 Ace Taxis who took the vulnerable lady, I met last night, home safely.

Please stay safe this season, plan your way home, have meet up points if you get separated, remain in well lit CCTV areas, and download the free WalkSafe app.

Don’t let having fun expose you to risk.

Thought provoking video posted today by AFCB One of the aims of Bournemouth Belles is to make any woman that wants to attend a match feel safe and comfortable to do so.

Safety in numbers but also apps such as Walksafe can help.

Great time celebrating National Bike to School Day with the University of Miami’s WalkSafe/BikeSafe Program and the City of Miami Police Department, hosting a fun and safe “bike bus” to Coconut Grove Elementary! #BikeBus #WeBikeFLA #BikeToSchoolDay

You’ve seen me posting a lot about #walksafe #Ptbo in the last days. I encourage you to read this thread and replies.

Design vs Safety

The goal is less death and injury of vulnerable road users. But freedom too!

#walksafe will be gold star awarded by status quo to themselves. No real change.
Batman knows what's up.

A pleasure to be on the panel with Emma Kay the founder of Walksafe, Katie White the co founder of Enough and our panel moderator Melanie- a victim campaigner and survivor who advocates for the rights of victims with Victim Campaign

Whereas in #Ptbo yesterday the police / city / county just announced their #walksafe program built around reflective clothing, staying home at night, obeying signs.

Not a single mention of infrastructure. Just all about vulnerable folks making it easier for drivers. #fail #waroncars #myth

We had the Walksafe program when I was in university for this and other reasons! (Two volunteers, always at least one woman, we’d walk you wherever.)

Worth noting that the 7 suggestions for drivers in the #walksafe campaign doesn’t use the term distracted driving. www.peterborough.ca/en/news/walk...

Ficversary day!

After Ed left him, Stede volunteered for their university’s walksafe programme.

But if Ed showed up at the walksafe office one night a month later, what might Stede do?

Could a #walkSafe campaign also address the supper dark tinted window issue? There are cars driving around #Ptbo with windows so tinted that I, a pedestrian / cyclist, can’t make eye contact.

That’s a safety threat to me. I assume it’s another unenforced infraction, like casual speeding and idling
