I haven't mentioned that the new, warning-light crosswalks are going to calm some traffic on this road in a big way. It's still too high a speed limit at 30, but this is gonna be a hit on that which matters.

Traffic has been awful today (from the seat of a public bus). Perhaps the sudden heat is a catalyst. Huge delaying events not from big incidents but from something involving ONE vehicle.

As a pedestrian, cyclist, public transport user and a driver, traffic calming is needed but when one small incident grinds to a halt a major thoroughfare, road design needs a rethink.

Here's an original traffic calming measure I saw in Madrid: Protected Peafowl wandering the streets.

They're large and slow and confident enough to wander in the middle of roads, and drivers know they'd get heavy fines for injuring them.

If I lived on that street, I would set up a tyre garage, alloy wheel refurb place and bodyshop nearby 😁

Presumably this is deliberate, to discourage SUVs and other larger vehicles from that lane whilst letting through smaller ones - I think it needs more signs on approach (like a similar #TrafficCalming scheme in Britain would use), but surely its obvious to those in larger #cars that their vehicle may not easily fit through that gap, and they should take the lane to the left?

They’d have hit the trifecta of excuses if they’d included “emergency vehicles”. #Boston used o try to wriggle out of installing raised crosswalks for the same “reasons” - now they’re standard. Small towns like #Marblehead (and #Provincetown) just don’t have staff/elected officials who get that these are simple, inexpensive, & effective ways to make streets safer. #SafeStreets #mapoli #publicWorks #trafficCalming #crosswalks #walking #bicycling #MassBike #WalkMass https://urbanists.social/@streetsblogmass/112378753422911740

> The city’s Engage PGH website details a plan to reduce Penn Avenue from two lanes to one, starting at 31st Street and ending at 22nd Street, just before the main concentration of the Penn Avenue business district starts.

Rigorous new research published by Transport for London shows the number of people killed or seriously injured on London borough roads reduced by 34% following the implementation of 20mph #speedlimits, with the number of children killed falling by 75% (from four to one). That means fewer grieving families and fewer people’s lives made a misery. (1/3)

@afewbugs As a Londoner, I am very grateful we have Sadiq Khan as mayor. He is a total hero. I don't agree at all with some of his policies (especially Silvertown tunnel), but he is so clearly doing his best for Londoners, at quite a cost to himself. Thank goodness our citizens have the sense to keep voting for him ...

𝗕𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵 è un neologismo anglofono che si sta sempre più diffondendo, è composto dalle parole bike (bicicletta) e backlash (contraccolpo, reazione avversa) per indicare la reazione negativa che nasce quando si tenta di rendere la città più a misura di bici.
