Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.
Not to mention the time and emotional energy so many advocates have put into these meaningful changes, often in honor of a loved one. Itβs the latest in a list of added insults to injury.
TODAY. See you at 11am outside Foggy Bottom Metro.

Maybe heβll recut the pod when I run for mayor (ππ€ͺππ€ͺπ)!
If I knew nothing else about Mamdani and just read these quotes from him about cars I'd still adamantly vote for him if I lived in NYC.
If he gets elected mayor, Mamdaniβs support for banning parking near intersections citywide could undo a bureaucratic knot at the Department of Transportation, whose leaders have vigorously pushed back against the movement fighting for the safety measure.
Trigger warning.
βIn crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adultsβ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means theyβre more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.β
Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.
If you disagree with Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy
who said:
"I do think you see more congestion when you add bike lanes and take away vehicle lanes. That's a problem."
let him know!

π§΅ (1 of 6) Community members recently placed memorial ghost bikes in honor of friends and loved ones.
This includes new memorials for loved ones who were killed while bicycling sometime in the past year and a half, plus previous memorials that were in need of care and replacement. β€οΈβπ©Ή

With a track record like this, I guess I shouldnβt be surprised that VIP plate 632 in @mayorbowser.bsky.socialβs DC didnβt stop when I was in the (4-way stop) crosswalk with my kid this morning.
Very small indeed! Hope you made it out without too many off-list purchases!

Gotta modernize my kidβs fleet. @wmatagm.bsky.social, waiting on the D8 to to Better-Bused!

The circumstances of this fatal crash are absolutely horrific and heartbreaking. I read every MPD press release on fatal traffic crashes, and this is one absolutely broke me. ππ
Car crashes are the second leading cause of death of American children. And it's entirely preventable.
Education and behavior change alone won't stop it. A major problem is road design.
I'm so glad the issue is reaching more mainstream conversations. www.sciencefriday.com/segments/kil...
