“'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.”
—Sara Rubin, #MontereyCountyNow

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 https://www.ksbw.com/article/bicyclist-struck-killed-salinas-california/70760894 mentions she was biking “in dark clothing.” High visibility apparel is not required by law, and while we do suggest it (https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/more-bicycle-safety-gear), being visible can’t protect you from drivers who are texting, speeding, under the influence, etc.—as we experienced and pointed out last week https://sfba.social/@bikemonterey/116219787478611800.

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 https://bikemonterey.org/wp-content/uploads/Bike-law-summary-2025.pdf).

😔 Tai nạn giao thông thảm khốc vừa xảy ra tại Thanh Hóa. Một vụ va chạm liên hoàn giữa 3 phương tiện bao gồm xe tải, xe đầu kéo và ô tô con đã cướp đi sinh mạng của tài xế xe con.

Nguyên nhân ban đầu là do xe tải và xe đầu kéo va chạm với nhau, sau đó xe đầu kéo tiếp tục đâm vào ô tô con đi cùng chiều.

Một vụ tai nạn đau lòng, xin chia buồn sâu sắc với gia đình nạn nhân. 🕊️

These traffic signs with reflective film are crucial! They stay visible day and night, in rain or fog, guiding drivers clearly. Reflective film bounces light back, boosting road safety. Learn more at https://www.reflectopro.com or email [email protected]. #RoadSigns #ReflectiveFilm #TrafficSafety

"There's no four-way stop. We're on the corner of the district office, and there's not a school #crosswalk here. There's three hills where people #speed down. We don't have #SpeedBumps. It's just, it's a dangerous intersection.” https://www.ksbw.com/article/pacific-grove-student-injured-scooter-crash/65608797

While "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth is indeed a poignant tribute to Paul Walker, it’s disheartening to reflect on the circumstances that led to his untimely death. The tragic reality is that this song may never have existed if it weren't for the reckless actions of a drunk driver, whose poor choices took Paul away from us far too soon.

Driving under the influence is not just foolish; it’s a dangerous gamble that endangers lives and devastates families. The impact of drugs and alcohol on driving is a serious issue that needs to be addressed more vigorously. It’s high time we hold these "road killers" accountable and advocate for stricter penalties. Perhaps individuals who take it upon themselves to stop a drunk driver should be allowed to rampage their vehicles to force them to a halt, with the assurance that their own cars would be repaired at no cost to them, ultimately covered by the criminal responsible. We must work towards a future where such senseless tragedies are prevented, ensuring that no more lives are lost due to the irresponsibility of a few.

One of the reasons I love walking through the neighbouring borough to where I live are the LTNs. I wish my own borough would try it too.

Did you know? We offer 3 types of channelizer drums for different climates:

- Low Density (LD) for colder climates, impact-resistant
- High Density (HD) for hotter climates, maintains shape
- Contractor Drum for moderate climates

3 different types of the TrafFix Channelizer Drum — all providing a long lasting product out on the road and value to our customers.

Ever wonder why channelizer drums are used out on the roads?

1. When all lined up together, they all act as one big deterrent that helps guide and channelize traffic within work zones.
2. Being large, they act as a physical deterrent
3. They have a large surface area for sheeting, which is especially helpful at night as it gives you a more reflective object to see

The TrafFix Channelizer Drum. The best on the road and among the competition.
