OSM-based navigation beyond paths with OSRM and Valhalla: While mainstream #webmaps still route #pedestrians around the edges of open spaces, #OpenStreetMap engines like #OSRM and #Valhalla make the leap to true area #routing across squares and other open spaces. This shift beyond line-based paths brings...

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." >>

Harvard: A Smartphone Navigation App for People with Blindness and Low Vision. “Engineers at the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have invented a new smartphone app called Mobilio that combines machine learning; algorithms that streamline input from multiple sensors; and personalized audio cues to provide a blind or low-vision person turn-by-turn directions, […]

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". >>
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-21/mildura-leaders-call-for-calm-after-boys-struck-by-ute/107032768* "A 24-year-old hit and run driver who injured two pedestrians, one of them fatally, sped away and then bragged about it to his friends has been spared jail time in Darwin."

"#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%."

Big US‑style trucks are killing more pedestrians in Australia – our research proves it
"We know vehicles on Australian roads are getting progressively bigger: more protective of their own occupants, but potentially more dangerous to those outside them. Here’s what we found:
every additional 100 kg of vehicle weight was associated with a 6% increase in the odds of pedestrian fatality regulation
every additional 10 cm of height was associated with an 11% increase in the odds of pedestrian fatality
utes and US-style pick-up trucks were associated with around 60% higher pedestrian fatality risk than conventional passenger cars
the relationship was even stronger in lower-speed environments. "

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. >>
https://coffscoast.newsofthearea.com.au/a-woman-has-tragically-died-in-a-crash-at-bellingen-on-thursday-afternoon* 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 ) >>

https://mastodon.au/@Bellingen/116626357349183983* 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).

Car ramming attacks: Weaponized cars have a global footprint
"It subconsciously becomes part of the repertoire of options for people to express their anger in some way and they get exposed to it through the vectors of the media and social media."
"Redesigned urban areas could be one of the simplest ways to prevent car ramming attacks. Paille points to separating roads and footpaths as an example. "Things that make it more difficult for a vehicle to access certain spaces…I found that quite interesting in terms of thinking about public space and making sure it is usable by everyday citizens, but also can help their safety. Bollards are one option commonly used in built-up areas…”

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."
