  2. #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 ksbw.com/article/porsche-four- #SpeedLimits #SafeStreets #LawEnforcement #TrafficSafety #DrunkDriver #DUI #alcohol

  3. 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 12onyourside.com/2026/08/12/he

  4. #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'. "

  6. Shocking news today… speeding and collisions are up in Edmonton since the #UCP banned the use of camera enforcement… truly shocking, who could have predicted this? 🙄

  8. ⚠️ HAZARD for cycling in Phibsboro

    Road workers are obstructing the cycle lane and general traffic lane on the Phibsboro Road inbound, after Doyle's Corner (just beyond Rothar and the Dublin Bus stop). No provision made for cycling - take care on approach - if cycling, take the lane.

    I couldn't see from where I was whether the footpath was also obstructed, but it's probably safe to assume it was.

    Another close call on Footscray Road.

    Frightening footage that demonstrates just how bad the Dock Link Rd intersection is.

    Who will take responsibility to fix it? vicroads or WestGateTunnel?

    In 2019 @WestGateTunnel was asked by a member of the public if the Footscray Rd intersection that killed Angus was safe, WGTP responded by saying that warning signs alone are sufficient to get truck drivers to give way to riders & pedestrians on the shared path.

    After Angus' death, WGTP have sent two lollypop people to protect the intersection. Unfortunately, they're not stopping/slowing left hand turn trucks, as that "would be too dangerous". Instead, they're asking cyclists to slow down.
