The fact is, we can improve the safety for our kids just by simply moving the limit by 10 on streets. Our kids deserve to feel safe around our schools, and they deserve the opportunity to walk to school.
Come on Canberra. Dropping from 40 to 30 is nothing in terms of travel time and it would be so easy for us to do. This is low hanging fruit.

A culture of lawlessness exists in auto dependant communities…
If people are upset that the road feels like it should be driven faster than the posted limit, then road should be redesigned to make the driver more cautious.

Calvin knows that one more lane never fixes car traffic and we should prioritise AAA cycling infrastructure instead.

Here’s a project to improve safety for students to walk or roll to school. Definitely improvement from before. And yet, did they give up at the intersections?

「本来は『歩行者→自転車→車』っていう順に優先されるべきなのに、地方では国鉄民営化のあと車社会が進んで、道路整備も車中心。歩道や自転車道は後回しにされがちです。」
このコメントに全面的に同意。この手の記事にしてはめずらしく、他のコメントも比較的まとも。歩行者や自転車など「より脆弱なユーザー」が守られるような道路整備が必要。

https://dailyprogress.com/news/local/crime-courts/article_14f84080-e588-4a4b-8927-6d1ea1591e74.html I am sorry to see #cville area pedestrian safety advocate Kevin Cox arrested. I am very sympathetic to his frustration and disappointment at the grindingly slow progress on the safety goals we set out many years ago in our Bicycle and Pedestrian plan. #SafeStreets #activism
Other tragedy in Atlanta yesterday, this time, a pedestrian killed crossing Peachtree Street by a driver who is still at large:

BRAVO Kingston P.D.! Pedestrians, cyclists, and bikers everywhere are feeling a little safer now taking killer DDDs (Dangerous Distracted Drivers) off the streets.
Crying "privacy" is an admission of being a DDD just the same as boasting "law abiding gun owner" is a veiled threat against woke leftists.
