Taking from cars and giving to people

Kerbside parking - "Drivers are using a public road to park their private cars. What would happen if authorities banned on-street parking?"

"Australia actually has an oversupply of parking, both on streets and in parking lots...In many European nations, authorities have worked to make streets less centred on cars and parking." >>

Crashes at Lavenders Bridge, North Bellingen

* Just a short time ago two women were killed and another seriously injured after a motorist 'lost control' near the notorious Lavender Bridge and smashed into two cars parked at the riverside swimming spot. >>

* Today there was another serious incident involving two e-bikes. An ambulance was seen at the crash zone. An injured person was seen lying on the ground. (The ambulance is visible on the Kombu Flood Camera at 2026-05-24 11.26 ) >>

* In the design of the new 'Lavenders Bridge Replacement' bikes and foot traffic do not seem to be a feature. A lot of bitumen was smeared over the river banks to facilitate the convenience for cars (parking).

'Sounds of Australia' nominations

You think the combustion engine would be a winner but no it is the pedestrian button, also know as the beg button.

The beg button is 'an icon of Australian design' that makes distinctive sounds to signal to pedestrians that is o.k. to quickly interrupt the supply chain of combustion engine vehicles.

Massive SUVs/utes and pedestrian safety regulation

"The U.S. government’s road safety agency wants the auto industry to design new vehicles including increasingly large SUVs and pickup trucks so they reduce pedestrian deaths and injuries."

"The rule would cover all passenger vehicles weighing 10,000 pounds or less, but it’s is aimed largely at big SUVs and pickups, which have grown in size and hood height over the years, causing blind spots for drivers."

"NHTSA said pedestrian deaths increased 57% from 2013 to 2022, from 4,779 to 7,522. The agency says the rule would save 67 lives per year. Data show that nearly half of all pedestrian deaths when hit by the front of a vehicle are most common for SUVs and trucks."

Cars are getting 1cm wider every two years

"New cars have become so big that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards, in many countries."

"SUVs drive trend for new cars to grow 1cm wider in UK and EU every two years, says report.Bigger cars more likely to kill people, release more toxic gas and are outgrowing design of cities."

"They argue that the trend towards bigger cars has reduced the space for other road users and increased the danger."
