No mention of distracted and reckless drivers of needlessly and increasingly large motor vehicles.No mention of #motorism as a cause of #trafficviolence.
#DyrenesBeskyttelse is a fake animal rights NGO, who are blaming the killed deer for being active during spring.
I am also more active during spring, but that's no excuse for killing me!?

so-called #trafficsafety is often straight up #victimblaming, placing the blame for #trafficviolence on those who are hurt or killed by #cars. 🔄
today in #copenhagen #motornormativity, a sign reading:
🪧 »Dear cyclists. Take care of the cars, reduce the speed.«
dear kids. take care of the gun owners, wear a bullet-proof vest. 🙃

Jennifer Lynn Chatman of Salinas died Nov 3, 2025 after her bicycle was struck by the trailer of a semi truck at the intersection of South Sanborn Road and Work Street, Salinas.
As we told Sara Rubin, #MontereyCountyNow / #MontereyCountyWeekly editor, infrastructure such as protected bike lanes with a physical barrier are what’s most needed to keep people who bike safer. In general, paint on pavement provides little to no real benefit in preventing fatalities.
Nevertheless, one “paint on pavement” practice we would like to see far more of — and which possibly could have saved Jennifer’s life — is bike boxes at intersections.

this *sounds* like SFMTA agreed to painting full 20-foot red curbs at every intersection, rather than the mere 10 feet at stop-controlled intersections that has been traffic engineer Ricardo Olea's policy. if so, good! parent organizing worked!

La Wallonie avait un objectif 0 décès sur la route en 2050. Un pallier intermédiaire de 100 tués par an était prévu pour 2030. On est d'accord que c'est encore 100 tués de trop.
Mais notre nouveau gouvernement a décidé de sabrer dans le budget consacré à cet objectif (prévention, contrôles, aménagements) et de relever l'objectif à 165 morts par an.
Nous avons donc élu des dirigeants qui peuvent se permettre d'annoncer tranquillou qu'ils programment et assument la mort de 65 personnes par an.
Et ça ne fait pas la moindre vague ...#TrafficViolence #violencemotorisee #voiture #securiteroutiere

"The district attorney's office says Cruz had an open bottle of beer in the car when he sped through a red light driving 50 mph before killing that three-year-old boy and injuring his father.” https://www.ksbw.com/article/suspect-california-salinas-deadly-toddler-hit-run-appears-court/61806859

“Investigators say she sent a text message to a friend just 20 minutes before the crash saying she was 'falling asleep.’”

Another great video about the need for Measure HLA to pass in Los Angeles. This time by Nimesh in LA.
He lays out why the status quo in unacceptable, and why the City needs to be forced by the citizens to act to make the streets safe for humans and not just speedy for cars.

The eleventh edition of the #MUTCD is expected to be published this year! That's great news for traffic safety, and only the better part of a year late! https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/mutcd_news.htm

https://hellgatenyc.com/nypd-permit-denial-flatbush
Car drivers kill 200-300 people per year in #NYC, and injure another > 60,000 people each and every year. And yet when people in this city try to get a permit to remove cars from their street for a day, they're denied by the #NYPD due to concerns about "violence." 🙄

Just heard about a #SpeedTrap in ¿#Sweden? where non-speeders were entered into a lottery, and fines were monthly awarded to one of the non-speeders.
Does anyone have more context for this? Did it work to reduce #speeding and #TrafficViolence?

Strafed by another #fuckcars #speeding while running a red light last night in #NYC #WaHI
So, I decided to see how #nypd is doing:
In spite of continued high levels of high #TrafficViolence post-covid, #Enforcement dropped off-- ALOT (half as many summons!!!) <see my plots>
We need better street design. And camera enforcement.

Portland is one of 4 large US cities without #police #traffic #enforcement https://katu.com/news/katu-investigates/portland-one-of-few-major-american-cities-without-proactive-speed-traffic-enforcement.
On the one hand, keeping police out of enforcement is good. It prevents #DrivingWhileBlack harassment + excessive policing.
On the other hand, #USDOT ranks #Oregon in top 10 #TrafficViolence
In 2021 Oregon had 1.54 traffic deaths for every 100M miles traveled vs nearby WA at 0.94 death/100Mvmt.
#Portland has lots of #EntitledDriver #StreetRacing, but few #speed cameras or safety engineering.
