RT @kenmcld "a review of 12 major roadways across the U.S. showed increasing speeds has little effect on saving time or increasing traffic flow.

Instead, @aaanews said raising speed limits could lead to more crashes, injuries, and deaths"

"It’s bizarre. We are a society obsessed with the safety of our children, sometimes to a ridiculous extent. Yet when it comes to the school run, the automobile remains sacred." -Taras Grescoe https://straphanger.substack.com/p/the-case-for-car-free-school-streets #SafeRoutesNow #SchoolStreets #PeopleStreets #RoadSafety #SafetyOverSpeed #TarasGrescoe #CarCulture

Next week, we’re taking a busful of people with Families for Safe Streets to Sacramento to ask legislators to pass AB 645 to allow speed cameras in 5 CA cities including SF.

Great job closing @LifesaversConf @mayormcginn w @americawalks. As @MillarRoger w @wsdot said, we need to start sacrificing some of the convenience of driving, to make more room for safety. We need to prioritize #SafetyOverSpeed, safety of all road users.

I'm at the #Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting this week. I've long had the habit of tweeting conference notes in a thread. I'm still doing that so if you're interested in my #TRBAM takeaways on the birdsite start at https://twitter.com/BarbChamberlain/status/1604911122234343424?t=BEZ-v2Onkc1AgltcVduGAg&s=19. #RoadSafety #SafetyOverSpeed #infrastructure #BikeTooter #SafeSystemApproach #MoveEquity #MobilityJustice #equity #accessibility #TRBAM2023 #PedestrianSafety #pedestrians

Patricia Tice: The missing link in urban design is human presence. Human bodies/minds were made for streets, not for driving. We can negotiate encounters at human speed without running into each other. #TRBAM #RoadSafety #SafetyOverSpeed #HumanFactors

@JasonThorne That is sadly and wonderfully pointed wording. Need more signage like this! #BikeTooter #RoadSafety #WordsMatter #SafetyOverSpeed
