I tend to avoid #NewYearsResolutions, but not this year.
In 2024, I resolve to push back every single time someone uses the term #VRU, or #VulnerableRoadUser.

@dankennedy_nu news to me, too.

I wish legislators would focus on fixing the ways roads are constructed rather than blaming the victim (#VulnerableRoadUser).

We need to focus on vulnerability in the system not the users.
