#EnforcementWorks: #Speed #violations down 30% on #CameraEnforcedRoutes which flies in the face of "cash grab" #complaints from #speedcamera detractors. Speed was a reported factor in nearly one-third of #deadlycrashes in the U.S. in 2021.

One of those oversize U.S Ram tank utes blasted past me on the wrong side of the road today. Must have been doing well over 100km/h in a 60 zone on the exit of a small town.

No idea where he came from as he has overtaken the ute behind me as well.

Maybe law makers have a right to read the bills before having to vote on them? Germany's highest court is going to have a look at that.

I report in German for @heiseonline

RT @americawalks: What we mean when we say that #speedkills: Higher speeds literally lead to more fatalities.
Curbing speeds - through ISA and other measures - is a proven method for saving lives.

So don't most folks see this as an urgent need? https://t.co/hHyfkP65sU

It's not surprising that reducing speeds improves safety. It is surprising--and encouraging--that a major city was able to effectively reduce speeds on so many of its main roads!

Just watched a neighbor in a #tesla get air -- actually get airborne -- blowing through the stop sign in front of my home. Speed limit is 25.

Petition to expand the #recall to include some of the drivers, too.

Shout-out to the City of Madison advertising its efforts to make fleet vehicles safer through GPS tracking and driver monitoring. "We drive the speed limit." #VisionZero #SpeedKills #MadisonWI

A Richmond councilwoman asked the city to look into maybe dropping the city speed limit to 20MPH. They told her it would cost $2.5 million to do that 😂

"The administration’s legal team interprets the law to require a new 20 mph speed limit sign posted on every block that doesn’t currently have one, requiring hundreds of copycat signs which astronomically drive up the cost of the change."

A car injured 22 people and took out my favorite neighborhood place #InwoodBarAndGrill — home of delectable $5 lunch specials with $5 frozen drinks. (Yes. Fabulous food and beverages at a great price in Manhattan.) And thus also where *everyone* goes out to eat. Construction workers. MTA on shift change. Old retired ladies. Wedding Parties. Where I took my folks for New Year’s.

They haven’t caught the culprits.

After dumping #Helsinki’s car-centric 1968 plan, the #Finns embarked on a decades-long campaign to slow motor vehicles. “In the 1970s it was normally 50km/h in cities; then in 2000 it went down to 40km/h. Now more than half our urban streets have a 30km/h limit.”

Whole scale speed reduction in urban areas saves lives. And reduces injuries to people

In #Surbiton the blanket speed limit of 20 was bought in because Green Party former Cllr Sharron Sumner fought for it. In #Kingston it took three attempts because the LibDems were at war with each other

Elsewhere in the borough the LibDems won’t bring it in

We say look after people first - reduce speed #SpeedKills
