Good advice to improve cyclists’ safety. This is what my Danish driving instructor taught me, too.

Gunney Hill. 6.45am this morning . Caution survey in progress. #traffic #RoadSafety

So that's three hit-and-runs in two days (that have been reported by media), each one in bright sunny conditions while the sun at the highest points of the day.

After the horrors of the year so far, RSA and AGS are really doing wonders to influence driver behaviour for the better, then.

#Tory #London #mayor candidate Susan Hall, "has said she would remove 20mph limits from all main roads if elected"*. Her campaign website is titled, with no trace of irony, "Safer with Susan"

"Drivers could be left in a 'farcical situation' of" actually being penalised for driving over the speed limit!

(Don't worry Jonathan, we already know that the Gardaí don't enforce 30km/h speed limits and very rarely enforce higher limits)

Last boost: I don’t know how I would deal with having to write an official response to a four year-old being killed in traffic, but I know it would not be like this. (Tweet thread from Oakland’s department of transportation talks about posting signs to remind people of dooring risks and putting up online videos for driver and cyclist education.) https://twitter.com/OakDOT/status/1699553115631169689 #RoadSafety #Oakland

The Bay Area has a lot of #Telraam devices deployed, now. I count about 40. Love to see it. https://telraam.net/#11/37.8247/-122.2723 #RoadSafety #BikeTooter #BayArea #SanFrancisco #Berkeley

@ColmDonoghue @janwwbosch @karlstanley @MartinJBreen @DublinCommuters That's a good point - approaching the road toll issue from a #RoadSafety perspective changes the rationale considerably.

“We need to see a universal fixed 30 km/h zone in all urban areas...There need to be red light cameras, better traffic cameras and better enforcement of our road safety laws... Our reliance on cars is terrible and there needs to be much better public transport infrastructure. #BusConnects needs to be urgently delivered and the All Island Rail Review.” - Dr Colm Byrne, Irish Doctors for the Environment

Conor Faughnan on #MorningIreland says he's not convinced we need new laws to improve road safety and is lukewarm about the idea of higher penalties for those who commit multiple offences. He's also not convinced about lower speed limits.

And he doesn't think we have too many cars on the road from a road safety point of view.

How does this guy continue to get the opportunity to spread these damaging views in the media? #RoadSafety

Your have to wonder how a local representative can think something like this is a good idea in a week that has seen horrific carnage on our roads and in a year that has seen the highest death rate in years. People walking and cycling are disproportionately impacted by road violence and segregated, safe, infrastructure is essential to making our roads safer.

Normally I wait until I have enough near-death experiences for a montage, but this was too bad to just sit on.

Anne Graham also spoke about the role the NTA has in #RoadSafety including providing transport alternatives to reduce car-dependency, improving rural bus stops, and building segregated walking and cycling infrastructure. #ITRN2023
