"Duffy’s choice to include this language could also simply be political messaging for a base that hates bike lanes" Except Trump voters support bike lanes - a 2025 YouGov survey found that 64% of Trump voters strongly or somewhat support bike lanes in their local area

I hate that the Federal Highway Administration removed bicycle lanes from their Proven Safety Countermeasures initiative, but it is an even bigger malpractice for traffic safety that they removed every countermeasure under speed management Speed management is essential to good traffic safety
Urban Truth Collective@urbantruth.bsky.social · 2w agoIn 2014, New York City lowering the speed limit from 30 to 25 mph. In just the 1st year: Traffic fatalities fell by more than 22% Pedestrian fatalities fell by more than 25% The most dangerous drivers, those driving over 35 mph, slowed down the most. Via @transalt.org Speed is always a factor.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy recently claimed that he "redirected $1.73 billion in USDOT grants away from Biden-era DEI pet projects [like bike lanes]," and while it sounds ominous, that's not quite true. Here's what we know is happening: bikeleague.org/what-the-hec...

It was great to talk to @davidzipper.bsky.social for this essay I'm proud of the @bikeleague.org's work with @waymo.bsky.social and I'm hopeful that Waymo will address this issue This example puts a point on how hard "better than human" is to prove, and how that still may not be enough
David Zipper@davidzipper.bsky.social · 3w agoWaymo’s robotaxis keep blocking bike lanes. It’s emblematic of a bigger problem. When passenger convenience and public safety conflict, robotaxi companies will favor the former. 🧵 about my guest essay in @driverlessdigest.bsky.social
