#walktooter — Public Fediverse posts

Several bills that can affect active transportation are still alive in the 2025 WA legislative session. How to follow them https://bikestylelife.com/2025/01/12/actions-you-can-take-for-active-transportation-following-a-bill/ and a list https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WADOT/bulletins/3d6db0f.

Still true a dozen years after I first wrote this: Your "right" to speedy travel doesn't exist. https://bikestylelife.com/2012/08/07/your-right-to-speedy-travel-doesnt-exist/

I currently keep my Mastodon use only on personal device so I can't easily post updates from the AASHTO 2nd Annual Safety Summit. I'm live tweeting some of my notes you-know-where starting here https://x.com/BarbChamberlain/status/1846183526254928126?t=Td8BA-RKWEAfb_CYtl3UnA&s=19.

Had to write up a blog post about my transit/walk trip the other day with all the sidewalk gaps.

Haven't been on my bike recently for good reason. Thank you kind strangers, thank you transit. http://bikestylespokane.com/2024/01/27/thank-heavens-for-kind-strangers-and-transit/

Posted another collection of poems that touch on some mode of transportation, sometimes in surprising ways. http://bikestylespokane.com/2023/05/06/do-not-drive-through-this-poems-in-the-way-transportation-poems-keep-rolling-in/ #poetry #poems #transportation #TranspoPoems #train #transit #flying #walking #WalkTooter #VerseThursday

Hey Tooters, I'm gradually shifting my #video content from #Youtube to #PeerTube. If seeing silly/deadly/occasionally educational videos of the state of #transportation in the US (and sometimes a fuzzy red puppy) makes you happy, please give me a follow:

"Public right of way"
should mean people don't die there
no matter what mode.

#RoadSafety colleagues: In my ongoing quest to reduce #crash exposure for pedestrians at 2-stage crossings (with a median/pedestrian refuge), I'm in search of examples of 2-stage #pedestrian cossings that either:

* Do not require a second request for a #WalkSignal from the #RefugeIsland (one #BegButton controls both stages), or

* Immediately trigger a ped phase when a walk signal is triggered from the refuge island.

Thanks!
