A 71yr old women was hit-and-run while crossing Sydney Rd (near Barkly St) yesterday.
Police are yet to locate the driver but have CCTV footage of them.
Sydney Rd is a major shopping street where people need to access shops on both sides of the street. This women was crossing 100m from the nearest southern pedestrian crossing and 150m from the nearest northern crossing.
Sydney Rd is busy and difficult to cross because there is no space in the middle to safely wait. When I cross I wait a long time for both ways to be clear or for traffic to backup.
For a 71yr old this isn't possible because it requires that you can move pretty fast.
The fact that it's 40km/h is probably what prevented this crash from being instantly deadly.
For such a dense shopping street (there are 1800 shops along here) it's absurd that there isn't a crossing every 50m.

A person pushing a bicycle was motor-killed last year on Moreland Rd. Luckily the DTP has sprung in to action and installed these signs to remind motorists that people cross roads.

Great stuff! Mentions some great research coming out of #edinburgh

Flinders St was closed to through traffic for 7 years due to Metro Tunnel works.
It's now bumper to bumper, running red lights and blocking intersections again.
We didn't need to increase traffic here. There was no reason to reopen to this street to cars.

Ich denke, wir sollten vielmehr von einer Parkplatz-Sekte sprechen.

"Emergency services were called to Geelong Road about 7.15pm on 15 February after reports a pedestrian had been struck by a car.
The pedestrian, believed to be a man in his 80s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries."
Elderly people are very over-represented in motor killings because they move slowly. If you move slowly then it doesn't matter if it's safe when you started crossing the road because the road conditions will change while you're crossing the road and you won't be able to move fast enough to adapt.
Our most vulnerable people, elderly and children, are the most effected by the unsafe nature of our roads.

I'm still mad about them killing these huge trees to widen the freeway off ramp to Flemington Rd

ASU study: Relying on a car is linked to lower life satisfaction. The most surprising aspect of this is the ASU part — my alma mater. Rababe could have just asked me.

"Tiny kids riding bikes on residential footpaths...Parents with small kids - please do not let your child ride bikes along suburban footpaths that have driveways on them. Especially where the driveway has plants and (low) fences which cable completely cover a little person that they cannot be spotted during head-checks of a reversing car. Reverse cams sometimes can be unhelpful in such scenarios as well..."
Get absolutely fucked.

"He said he did not consider her negligence extreme, due to there being no aggravating factors such as drugs, alcohol or speeding."
The problem with driving is that it's all negligence.
Car culture somehow managed to make operating heavy machinery around children to be something that is considered reasonable in a risk assessment.

End socialism for cars? Alternatively: If car owners don't like this proposal, maybe let New Yorkers store anything they want on the street for free in the spaces that are currently designated as free car storage.
Picnic tables, hot tub, trampoline, small shipping container...

I'm anxious about being in Hawaiʻi and I just realized why. In Honolulu, where a car is needed to get around, I often agonize about when to go out so I'm not stuck in traffic. In London or Paris, I just go because I cycle everywhere and cars on the road don't impact my travel times. #CarsRuinCities

From 2026 Melbourne (Australia) is doubling our congestion levy on providing car parking from $4 to $8 a day ($1750/yr to $3030/yr).
This is unlikely to have any real impact on the number of people driving to the CBD because the levy will just be absorbed in to existing parking pricing and probably won't be passed directly on to motorists.
Even if we passed this levy directly on to motorists at the point of sale it's still less than the cost of parking outside the CBD and taking public transport in (unless the parking is provided free at a train station)

Motorists have gotten used to the measly $9USD congestion pricing toll in New York City and are clogging the streets again. The original toll was supposed to be $22USD with the idea of increasing it until the level of car traffic reached an acceptable level. At $9USD it's still a cheaper trip cost than taking public transport.

Non-driving New Yorkers elected Zohran
Car ownership was the strongest statistical factor predicting whether a New Yorker voted for Cuomo or Mamdani. More than race, age, home ownership, anything.
