Cars need to wear hi-viz so drivers can see them!
Nailed it

@_dmoser @mortenkabell Remind people almost everyday in the battle for transport investment re-prioritization General public here in Australia just fed the next “congestion-busting” press release!!!
Yet somehow motorists first argument is “we can’t afford protected bike lanes and active transport” Cars are the most expensive for cities to support.
“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in Copenhagen🇩🇰?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it?’ 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure..bicycling.”~ @mortenkabell
Stop injuring and killing us
Busy night for members of our @WRPS_Traffic Unit. At Homer Watson Boulevard & Old Carriage Drive for a hit and run collision. Cyclist struck by a vehicle and driver left scene. Cyclist has suspected broken leg. @WRPS_Traffic laid 12,163 charges for Fatal Four offences in 2020.

“Road safety is a shared responsibility”. Especially during a demolition Derby.
COLLISION: Dufferin St + Dupont St - 7 vehicle collision - 1 vehicle fled the scene - injuries reported - expect delays in the area - will update #GO2145902 ^ep2
@mikeboos Yea. I don’t remember why it died
Want
New glow-in-the-dark trail connecting Summerwood neighborhoods to @hcpct1 Deussen Park! @TEI_PlanDesign
Amazing how it’s mostly bikes and free car storage
Today’s video that is blowing up quick on TikTok ! #bikeTO #PreciousCargo
I saw a cyclist roll through a stop sign once 1) why is this a legal option 2) this is in a 55 mph zone 3) Tesla is enticing users to break the law with the instruments instagram.com/reel/CUcJ7dpq6…
Please vote Councillor Gazzola out at the next election.
Councillors approved a plan to reduce speed limits from 50 km/h to 40 km/h. bit.ly/3iCJKEo

Great thread full of examples why we need to get rid of cars in the cities.
People often respond to proposals to turn road apace back to people space with anger at the change, yet so many places around the world that we now take for granted went through this transition. One case in point: Washington Square in NYC. Please share your examples!

Overall, the reduction in cars traveling in Paris has been dramatic, dropping by 44%. “Out of 100 cars circulating in Paris in 2002, 56 remain.”

Now is a good as time as any to remind everyone that right turns on red have no business in any area that is likely to have pedestrian traffic...or SHOULD have pedestrian traffic.

I made a Venn diagram. Prove me wrong
What’s more shocking is the driver wasn’t charged. Or maybe it isn’t
A shocking video shows a cyclist being attacked as he tries to calmly explain to the furious motorist why the group isn't riding single file.... road.cc/content/news/c…
