A drive-through town for speeding road trains
Elsewhere large road trains are also racing through the middle of the small town's main street. It might not be 800 heavy haulage trucks rolling through, but the main street life is suffering.
"We're talking about loads that are going through the centre of town and nearly touching parked cars on either side of the road…Often we might have to halt a conversation with a customer because a truck is going past and they're really noisy, or we see a truck slam on the brakes as they come up to the crosswalk.It's an issue with noise, it's an issue with crossing the road." >>

A Ring of Shade
Above the promenade at El Postiguet in Alicante is a walkway to the town where you can find a neat place to photograph passing people against the cubed background. Those ground tiles remind me of Q*bert or Marble Madness which I've only seen but never played. What I did play was Gyroscope, the first disc-based game I had for the C64. Great game. Very tough!
Any serious injury on shared paths is concerning...
84-year-old pedestrian struck by an e-bike being ridden by two teenage boys on a shared path.
"Margaret Throsby is recovering in hospital after she was hit by an e-bike on a shared path. She suffered a head injury and broken hip after being hit by an e-bike." >>

Pedestrians have lost the footpath for walking after the market decided to fill it up with massive fat motor/bikes steered by juveniles.

Big Killer Cars
As our car sizes grow, new evidence points to pedestrian risk
"A US study of crash data found that for every 10cm increase in front-end height, the risk of pedestrian death increased by 22 per cent, with women, children and seniors more at risk than other people."
"Like the US, the number of pedestrian deaths in Australia has risen in the past five years (after years of trending down), while the fatality rate for passengers inside a vehicle has roughly stabilised."
“If the point of the crush is to the upper part of the pedestrian’s body, and also if the pedestrian doesn’t end up on the bonnet and instead ends up on the ground hitting their head on the concrete, those are elements that can increase the likelihood of fatality."
“These are otherwise survivable crashes that are turning fatal as a result of vehicle design...The big cars have the momentum, and without any change in policy, the momentum is not going to go away."
“Right now, there is no disincentive to go and buy big.” >>

Speed kills (pedestrians, cyclists, children and even the occasional motorist!)
‘Authorities hopes the restrictions will address concerns that residential areas are not experiencing the same improvements in safety seen on larger roads.’

Twenty is plenty: get used to it.
Council to impose a 20mph speed limit on all roads.
No it is not happening in Bellingen. All that sustainability and livability stuff is happening elsewhere...
"This ode to the motorcar has gradually been dismantled over the past couple of decades, with the removal of roads turning the city centre into a far more pedestrian-friendly environment...The imposition of a 20mph zone throughout the city seals the deal. No longer will the needs of cars dominate. Instead, walking, cycling and public transport will be the modes of choice, as car travel becomes slower and more of a hassle....This is an attempt to make life more difficult for motorists, in order to improve the situation for people not travelling in large metal boxes...That does and should involve a raft of measures. Parking spaces need to be removed, access to town centres limited to deliveries, congestion charges imposed."
"In the global race to sustainability and livability, the leader is probably Copenhagen, where ambitions of having a 50% modal share of cycling for commuters may already have been achieved and there are ambitions to go further. Paris, however, is quickly catching up – and demonstrates that change can be rapid once momentum picks up. Since the election of Anne Hidalgo as mayor in 2014, the transformation has been astonishing. It has involved a raft of measures, building on the creation of Paris’s large bike hire scheme in 2007 and the pedestrianisation of the left bank of the Seine in 2013. There has been a comprehensive refocusing of the city’s roads in favour of cyclists and pedestrians, with more than 1,000km of cycle lanes, the removal of thousands of parking spaces, the closure of dozens of school streets and the creation of low-traffic neighbourhoods." >>

Mowing down children and the racist feeding frenzy that followed.
Alabama in the 1930s?
"* Two children, who were riding a motorised pushbike and left with serious injuries, were allegedly pursued and mowed down by 56-year-old Gol Gol man Andrew Brien.."
"Mr Brien allegedly pursued the children through the pedestrian-only mall in the belief they were involved in vandalism at his partner's real estate business. However, the court heard the children were "blameless" of any offending on the night."
"The amount and volume of racist and violent comments surged after the incident, with hundreds of social media posts laying blame on the boys and praising the driver."
"The act alone was shocking, but what followed on social media revealed a distressing and damaging ugliness...What we've seen lately in terms of social media is that anger is coming out in really primal responses, in ideas and thoughts and beliefs which do not have a place in a civilised society."
"It is not OK to hurt children. It is never OK to hurt children. It's not OK to call this man a hero."
"No-one should see violence against their children or community being celebrated or joked about...I don't want to see comments that I think would be better placed in 1930s Alabama". >>

"#pedestrians have been "pushed to the margins of the #road networks" forcing them to "jostle for space with #motor #vehicles".
The price is paid in lives.
Officially pedestrians account for roughly a fifth of #roadDeaths, but independent studies cited by Tiwari estimate the share is closer to 30-40%."
