“A West Vancouver man who struck and killed a woman as she was crossing an Ambleside street in a marked crosswalk will pay a $500 fine but face no driving ban”

Infrastructure is a joke, justice for road victims is a joke. Makes me furious.

@ohrite since speed limits are so widely ignored, & SFPD refuses to enforce traffic safety (heck, the number of SFPD vehicles I see ignoring the vehicle code re speeds, stops, right on red)

So let's use some of the money going to SFPD for faster, better traffic engineering fixes.

I can't help but believe traffic engineers know how to design speed bumps that you can drive over at 20 mph, and get a real shock at 30.

Perfect streets approaching/leaving on/off ramps

And then no turn on red arrows for the pedestrian walk phases, with camera enforcement.

And not just at 4th & King.

SFist - San Francisco News, Restaurants, Events, & Sports - Video: Car Flies Over Sanchez Street Stairs, Lands On Roof, Occupants Flee

As an avid city stairway hiker, here's something I've sometimes had in the back of my mind: Reckless drivers careening down a stairway right of way, just like this crazy video shows from San Francisco's Sanchez Street stairs in the Castro.

Salud America! - Tell NHTSA: Share the Real Risk to Pedestrians in Vehicle Safety Ratings!

NHTSA is *finally* considering updating safety scores for vehicles to take into account danger to pedestrians outside the vehicle. But their proposal could be a lot better. Here's an easy way to send a comment on the upcoming regulation: (comment closes July 25)

Some good-ish news from MN.

bucks national trend of rising deaths

minnesotareformer.com/2023/06/

However, “Today there are fewer vehicle crashes involving pedestrians than there were 20 years ago, but the collisions are much more likely to be fatal.

…vehicles are… bigger, heavier and more powerful than they were 30 years ago, especially the pickup trucks and SUVs that represent one of the fastest growing segments of the car market.”

The Death Cult of the American Car

“[US] pedestrian deaths will have increased for the 12th consecutive year, nearly doubling from 4,302 in 2010 to an estimated 8,126
…
There are too many cars and trucks that are too heavy and tall, driving too fast on streets that are too wide, with too many points of conflict. The typical pedestrian death is an SUV or truck running someone down on a ‘stroad,’…”
