“The introduction in 2011 of “zone 30” areas on a limited number of residential streets and along school routes resulted in a 30% reduction in fatalities and serious injuries” #SafeStreets #Japan #WarOnCars https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/02/japan-new-speed-limit-30kmh-narrow-city-streets

To be clear, many drivers in the Seattle area are oblivious to the safety and well-being of people cycling, too. They don't think twice about blocking bike lanes, saying "I'll move right away," as if that somehow makes their behaviours safe and legal.

Maybe we expect maximalism because cars have nearly achieved maximalism.

#CarWeek #MontereyCounty Thanks to California Highway Patrol, who took a hit - quite likely preventing harm to someone else. "A Porsche was stopped after going 90 mph in a 55 mph zone. After the driver was pulled over, the Porsche backed into a CHP patrol vehicle, CHP alleges.” - Ricardo Tovar, #KSBW https://www.ksbw.com/article/porsche-four-times-over-legal-limit-backs-patrol-car/73438667 #SpeedLimits #SafeStreets #LawEnforcement #TrafficSafety #DrunkDriver #DUI #alcohol

CW: Murder, traffic violence, white supremacy
This is always a tough time of year for me. I am happy that the city of Charlottesville closed Heather Heyer Way to through traffic running at killing speed through the memorial, at least for the day. I still hope that we can fix this for more than one day a year. #SafeStreets #cville #Charlottesville #DowntownMall https://www.12onyourside.com/2026/08/12/heather-heyer-way-closure-marks-nine-years-since-her-murder-white-supremacist-attack/

#LeedsUK - The city closing down streets so children can play
Kate McGough, 8/4/2026
"The idea of regularly closing down residential streets for children to play was started in 2009 by a group of parents in Bristol, who wanted to show that 'playing out near home should be normal, it doesn't have to be a special event'. "

Opening a Family Justice Center here in Thousand Oaks is important and welcome news for the safety of residents here and throughout eastern Ventura County.
A Family Justice Center provides a safe space for the victims of domestic violence, elder and child abuse, human trafficking, and hate crimes. It not only provides safety but also saves victims from having to travel back and forth to Ventura multiple times to seek justice.
The City of Thousand Oaks is a proud partner with the Ventura County District Attorney's Office in establishing this first Family Justice Center in the east county.
I'm also grateful to California Lutheran University, which will host the center and for the work of the Ventura County Family Justice Center Foundation in supporting victims.
Ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents is Job One in local government. While crime overall is down, domestic violence in particular remains a stubborn blight that persists across all socioeconomic lines.
This center helps address that. This helps make residents safer.

Very encouraging news re #SafeStreets - and it's good to see the changes to state codes to permit reducing the speed limits. I hope that in addition to posting speed limit signs #sfmta will also adjust #SignalTiming near schools to reduce the incentive to speed on those streets.

We're finally talking about lowering speed limits! This is another one that we've talked about for years. Speed kills. "The speed is set to a dangerous standard". Ben Chambers noting that we have been working on this for ten years. Yes. 🤦 #SafeStreets

Op-Ed: Seattle Needs Car-Free Streets
"Denny got its bus lane in four months because someone decided it could. The shared streets law exists because someone wrote it. The deaths will not stop because Councilmember Rob Saka called for another audit of the failing Vision Zero program that SDOT just audited. They will stop when the people already here, the walkers and riders, the elders and parents, and even the drivers who'd rather not be, act like the bloc they already are."

It's time to reconsider the Leary route for bicycles and busses in Ballard. Not to replace the preference for the popular Shilshole proposition, but IMO, making a park in the middle of Ballard with trees, pedestrian paths, safe cycle paths and buss access is the way to go.

Hey @[email protected] @[email protected] let's make NC be the second state to allow cities to create streets for people again.
If Washington can do it, so can we!
