#crashnotaccident — Public Fediverse posts

"Die Verkehrsverwaltung sieht in dem Umstand hingegen kein Problem. Schließlich sei es bei der Überprüfung darum gegangen, die Straßenabschnitte auf vielgenutzte Schulwege hin zu untersuchen.

„In die Kita gehen die Kinder nicht allein. Die Eltern sind dazu verpflichtet, sie dorthin zu bringen. Ein Schulweg ist etwas anderes“, sagte die Sprecherin der Verkehrsverwaltung Petra Nelken."

Der erwähnte #CrashNotAccident passierte übrigens nicht am Alexanderplatz, sondern in der Leipziger Straße.

Vorfälle wie der beschriebene und die Art, wie Politik, Polizei und Justiz damit umgehen, haben zumindest bei mir das mutmaßliche Ziel erreicht: ich fahre innerhalb Berlins sehr viel weniger mit dem Rad als früher. Ich kann das einfach nicht mehr.

Dafür lerne ich jetzt #KravMaga, um mich in Ernstfall wenigstens verteidigen zu können.

Apparently “opportunity for continued improvement in these highly dynamic social interactions between man and machine” = #Waymo code for "Yep, AI can learn to break the law". Good luck, people wanting to cross the street. This also spikes the ableist "make eye contact" advice. wapo.st/3ZZDifm (gift link)

"Cyklist påkörd
10.58

En cyklist har blivit påkörd vid en korsning i Landskrona.

Räddningstjänst, polis och ambulans är på plats.

– Cyklisten är vaken och talbar, säger Patric Fors, polisens presstalesperson i region Syd.

Larmet kom in innan klockan 11."

Reread a poem this morning that I included in one of my transportation poetry round-ups (http://bikestylespokane.com/2024/02/17/how-we-get-where-were-going-transportation-poems/).

“The News in Southwest Minnesota” by Marianne Murphy Zarzana

"The victim, following the rules of the road, still unsafe, vulnerable.
The intersection, unconsciously aiding and abetting fatal collisions."

Speed limiters on vehicles could save thousands of lives every year. Would you accept one on your vehicle? I would.

If you drive faster on freeways you drive faster on local streets, with all that implies for traffic impacts (using that word deliberately and literally): My TL;dr on study from AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.

Auto ads sell a mythical world of open roads and all the speed the vehicle can produce. But we don't allow cigarette ads any more because we know smoking causes cancer. We know speed causes death on impact. Is it (past) time to regulate auto ads?

New on the @wsdot blog: My post on driving safely on Halloween (and all year round). https://wsdotblog.blogspot.com/2023/10/remember-what-uncle-ben-said.html

@HayiWena And do you have any source I can track down about crashes involving middle schoolers that aren't in the police collision traffic report data? I could really use that! I'll take anecdata if that's all you have. @footsteps #SafeRoutesNow #KidsDeserveIt #CrashNotAccident

The stats in this are stale but the principle still applies: Drive as if someone's life depends on it. It does. https://web.archive.org/web/20211027183213/https://wsdotblog.blogspot.com/2021/10/remember-what-uncle-ben-said.html #RoadSafety #CrashNotAccident #DriverNotCar #SpiderMan #UncleBen #driving #DriveSafe #SafetyOverSpeed #SafeRoutesNow #KidsDeserveIt #Halloween

Using card stock to support a stack of several hundred toilets and calling it an accident when a slight miscue by a worker is followed by all the toilets crashing to the ground is exactly how the US roadway system works.

Updated list of bike-related hashtags to add a category for Bike Spectating--terms like #CouchPeloton and the names of the monument races (#TourDeFrance, #Giro etc.). What am I missing that you've found useful in finding/chatting with bike folks who share your particular interests? I have a heavy dose of policy tags, that's for sure. http://bikestylespokane.com/2023/04/09/hashtag-bikes/ #BikeTooter #Bikenomics #CrashNotAccident #VisionZero #cycling #VeloLife #velo #SafeRoutes #WomenBike #RideLikeAGirl #FamilyBikes #EBikes

I'm heading out to lead a BikeLoudPDX ride to #WDoR2022. World Day of Remembrance for Road for victims of traffic violence.

Event is Sun Nov 20 1pm at 122nd & Powell, put on by a coalition of groups supporting #FamiliesForSafeStreets.

There've been 129 deaths by #TrafficViolence in Portland in the past 2 years.
In the past 24 hours, Police reports were filed on 26 "Accidents" including six Road "Injuries" and five "Hit & Runs".

Our streets are failing us.
