This is an afront to family biking across #BIkeDC!

Stay tuned for planned action.

And tell your friends outside of DC to call their Senators offices on Tuesday to alert them to this action that will hurt everyone that visits the National Mall

We join Sam, a DC hit-and-run victim, in calling on Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie to move B26-0057, the Motor Vehicle Insurance Modernization Act. It's time to update DC's 40-year-old insurance minimums.

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. It’s the latest in a list of added insults to injury.

After losing her 5-year-old, a DC mom builds a legacy of safety for others After her daughter Allie was killed crossing the street, Jessica Hart turned heartbreak into advocacy for safer roads nationwide.

I’m back in your screens, talking about Allie 🫢🏻 and the importance of doing real things we know can save lives, like using tech and street design to slow drivers. πŸš—

It’s why we’re walking on Nov 16 to honor victims and call for slowing down. #StopSuperSpeeders

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.

Likely Mayor Mamdani Supports Daylighting as DOT Digs In Heels - Streetsblog New York City The next mayor will have to overcome a deeply entrenched bureaucracy opposed to the common-sense policy.

If he gets elected mayor, Mamdani’s 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.

β€œIn crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.”

Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.

🧡 (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€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

With a track record like this, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that VIP plate 632 in @mayorbowser.bsky.social’s DC didn’t stop when I was in the (4-way stop) crosswalk with my kid this morning.

The Lack Of Science In Road Design Is Deadly Are traffic engineering decisions based on evidence-based research? Not as much as you might think.

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...

"IIHS findings show that vehicles with hood heights over 40 inches are approximately 45% more likely to cause pedestrian fatalities."
