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.

"Fatality trends between 2011 and 2021 point to one consistent trend: there is an evident correlation between states and cities with high car dependency and those with highest per capita fatality rates." -Anusha Chitturi & Glendedora Dolce https://enotrans.org/article/why-us-states-and-cities-are-failing-to-reduce-road-traffic-deaths/

I know y'all are here and not there on the birdsite but I'm doing some tweeting from an all-day workshop at USDOT on the National Road Safety Strategy. Thread starts here https://twitter.com/BarbChamberlain/status/1664262349979525122?t=Oqzdv0icT3qkEcTtpGadsQ&s=19 #transportation #RoadSafety #VisionZero #SafeSystemApproach #SafetyOverSpeed #SafeStreets #SafeRoutesNow #ZeroTrafficDeaths #SafeStreetsForAll #WSDOT #WSDOTActive
@enobacon @DrTCombs @bikepedantic @largess @pedbikeinfo Love the evolution of this essential point. Could add walking as well.
"If we're serious about traffic safety, we're making things safer for bicycling and walking even in contexts where getting more people to choose to bike or walk is unlikely."

"Public right of way"
should mean people don't die there

This very long piece by Joe Lindsey on the false promises of "self-driving" (they're not!) cars is so good. https://www.bicycling.com/culture/a42111006/are-cyclists-safe-around-self-driving-cars/
“Every day we think autonomous cars will yield a future of safe car dependency, we divert essential attention and resources from the things that can actually help right now.” -Peter Norton, author of Autonorama: The Illusory Promise of High-Tech Driving.
