44,000 deaths per year from car violence, but yeah, let's put human-scaled mobility under the microscope. If you have a "problem" with bikes, it's because you're forcing them into the margins with pedestrians instead of reallocating space away from cars.
“According to data from Safe Streets Indy, 13 pedestrians and cyclists have been hit at this intersection since November 2022. Three of those incidents were fatal.” #SafeStreetsIndy #Indianapolis #HoosierSky #VisionZero

If your car does not run try putting wheels on it and see if it will roll. This is how you fix all cars
Fish used to live on land but they evolved to live in water because they fell in love with surfing and other water sports
it can be done but you have to hold drivers responsible to follow the law
Remember when our tax payers funded a trip for lawmakers to Helsinki to learn about vision zero? I wonder what they brought back with them?

PSA:when you are slogging through annual compliance certifications make sure you understand that you only need 70% correct to pass. Then calculate the 30% of the most critical questions that you can get wrong so when someone comes after you for breaking policy you blame the school that passed you.
Coupled with this recent report on how larger vehicles reduce parking spaces (www.transportenvironment.org/articles/eve...), I think it'd be great to see some research or @nytimes.com investigation of blind spots caused by larger vehicles parking #Daylighting is more important than ever

Idaho health officials are investigating how nearly 60 people got sick after drinking raw milk in the past two weeks. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare says they didn't name two dairies potentially linked to the outbreak “because this is a potential risk for any raw milk producer.”

Why do I think that erosion of human intellect is the biggest threat of AI? When it is used, users are already not smart enough to say Hey dipshit the feet are on wrong. Pretty sure no innovative tools will fucking fix that pain and our devolution
I don’t know about you all but I’m very reassured by how much time in our media and parliament is spent focusing on e-bikes and “speeding” cyclists rather than pointless pen-pushing paperwork like *check notes* oh….. revoking the license of a clearly dangerous driver before he kills an innocent man.

Why was the sidewalk wearing his vis curbery
This is why I have no tolerance for people who scold pedestrians/cyclists about road safety being a shared responsibility. People are killed by drivers while on the sidewalk in America, and the paper writes it up like the car just happened to have a life of its own
