    A woman stopped right in front of me while I was taking some long exposure shots of the passing crowd.

    "#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%."

  3. 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. "

  4. It seems City of Edinburgh Council have realised paving over a drain isn’t the smartest idea.

  5. “More than half of all road deaths are people who aren't even in a car – they are walking, cycling or riding a motorcycle. When roads are designed as if only car drivers matter, these people are left dangerously exposed,” said Dr Etienne Krug Director of the Department of Health Determinants, Promotion and Prevention at WHO. “We know what works – strong laws and enforcement, safe infrastructure and vehicles with particular attention to lowering speed and addressing impaired driving. This declaration means we must all go further and faster.”

    This survey from Aalto University is about pedestrian perceptions of Pedal Assisted Electric Logistics Vehicles.

    No prior knowledge or experience of the vehicles is necessary to complete the survey, the participants will be shown photos and videos of the vehicles, and asked to provide their perception & opinions in two short tasks

    The survey takes around 10-15 minutes to complete. It is not accessible and relies on eye sight. Survey’s deadline is on 19.7.

    Zahlreiche Olsberger nutzten die Möglichkeit, sich zu Fuß einen Eindruck des Bauwerks zu machen.
