  14. I saw cars, once even a truck, going the wrong way on the highway in Cambodia. But:

    1) They were going on the edge of the highway, in the slowest lane.
    2) They were going slow
    3) They were (usually?) flashing their blinker in the direction out from the highway

    Never seen a can going the wrong way on a highway in the fastest lane, unlike in Czechia.

  15. “'Seth Pollack spent his life teaching people how to see clearly – to look past easy narratives, sit with complexity, and do the hard work of understanding. It is a painful irony that in the days after his death, the story of how he died became one of those easy, inaccurate narratives.'

    "They [Pollack’s family] are referring to a CHP [California Highway Patrol] statement immediately following the crash that Pollack was on the wrong side of the street, later determined to be unfounded.”

  20. Our sympathy to the family and friends of Linda Theresse Munoz of Salinas.

    Linda suffered fatal injuries after being struck on her bicycle by a truck, and then by two additional vehicles, while biking in Salinas on March 14.

    We have no details on this collision so can’t comment about the circumstances except to say: #KSBW’s report ksbw.com/article/bicyclist-str mentions she was biking “in dark clothing.” High visibility apparel is not required by law, and while we do suggest it (bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tour), being visible can’t protect you from drivers who are texting, speeding, under the influence, etc.—as we experienced and pointed out last week sfba.social/@bikemonterey/1162.

    We don’t know if Linda’s bicycle had the equipment required by California law for biking in the dark (see #9 in our Calif bike law summary bikemonterey.org/wp-content/up).

  25. A Monterey County landscaper is grieving the avoidable death of his grandson, 22-yr-old Alejandro Covarrubias, who was killed by a hit-and-run driver while changing a flat tire. gofundme.com/f/honoring-my-bro As reported by KTLA-5, authorities say the suspect could possibly have been driving an #Amazon truck. ktla.com/news/local-news/famil

    Alejandro's tragic death is an example of why California Assembly Bill 390 was passed in 2025. AB 390 extends protections that were already given to police officers, highway workers, Caltrans employees and other people doing official work on the highways to ANYONE outside of their vehicle—as reported by Streetsblog California, University of California at Berkeley Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC), and others. SafeTREC found that, in 2022, over 1,200 individuals nationwide were killed due to drivers maneuvering too close or fast near parked cars, including 221 in California.

  32. "Not sure if I can say this onscreen. But lights over helmets"

    Yes you can say it! Bike lights are more important than bike helmets. So are a lot of other things: 30 kph speed limits, bike paths, bike training, driver visibility out of truck cabs, etc
