Improvements in London Air Quality Shows Why Cities Need More Safe Cycling Infrastructure
"The bigger challenge is often giving people somewhere they feel comfortable riding.
Build a painted line beside fast-moving traffic and many people will quite reasonably decide cycling isn’t for them. Build a connected network of protected, legible routes and the potential audience changes dramatically."

Reducing the height of automobile impact points does not skip any of those levers.
It acts on an additional, important lever that should never have been overlooked, has been known for years, and is finally starting to reach the "everybody knows" level where people may act.
As an aside, smaller cars (as well as fewer cars) helps with many more aspects of #UrbanPlanning beyond the important matter of being less likely to die when walking or biking around.
And those survivors of crashes get to live to become advocates for all the other levels, the many mechanisms of crash avoidance (such as the ones you mention, plus getting rid of automobiles in the many, many places they do not need to be).
And imagine the greater understanding of the need to act on additional levers to avoid crashes if SUVs had to be outfitted with pedestrian-facing, low-height crumple zones!
(Similar to placing siding between the wheels of long trucks, another key death-reducing mitigation.)

Interesting work session last night on kicking off the five year Comprehensive Plan update for the City of Charlottesville. My sense of the room is that we believe the values and goals remain the same now as then, but implementation has been uneven and that is where focus is needed. #cville #UrbanPlanning #housing #equity #transit https://www.youtube.com/live/ytf9bPEe840

Are You Henge Aligned?
The fall equinox happens today, ushering in the first day of the new season and some spectacular visual effects in cities around the world.
Equinox brings ‘henge’ effect to cities laid out on a grid – NPR
The fall equinox brings shorter days, and the change of seasons. In some U.S. cities, it’s also a chance to witness the striking alignment between the sun and Earth, as sunrises and sunsets align with city streets running east and west. It’s a modern version of ancient observances of a celestial shift, like sunrise at Stonehenge.
I particularly like the comparative analysis of city street orientations, and the fact that I now have an excuse to make all the fall-related baked goods I like!

@phocks The height finding is real, but it answers a narrow question: given a crash, how likely is death? It says nothing about why the crash happened.
Missing here: enforcement, phone use, lighting and road design, thinning traffic patrols, and crash-avoidance tech that actually works at night. Going straight from "suvs are taller" to taxes and licence conditions skips every lever that prevents the collision in the first place.

The admin has already been rushing to clear the final hurdles of the #arch in recent days, brushing aside concerns from architects, historians & #veterans who say it could disrupt the #historical area between the #LincolnMemorial & #ArlingtonNationalCemetery. Now, #Trump appears prepared to return to a familiar playbook he has used to circumvent normal processes & defend some of his more contentious projects in court.

#Trump said the #arch would be “a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, & have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof & plaza areas, & additionally have & hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage.” The proposal would place an arsenal & #military staging ground in the center of the nation’s capital.
