Having spent most of my working life in transport policy, this is the essential truth that so many people - including politicians with responsibility for transport decisions - don’t or won’t get.
To reduce congestion, you reduce capacity and reduce speed. The empirical evidence is overwhelming.
To reduce congestion, you reduce capacity and reduce speed. The empirical evidence is overwhelming.
If you widen that highway
you won’t reduce emissions
or congestion.
What you WILL do
is spend a lot of public money
to induce even more cars
emitting even more GHGs and pollution
in the same or worse congestion
with people still demanding that you widen the highway.
Period.

1 winter evening, on a well lit stretch of a snow covered street in Winnipeg, while wearing a lit armband and having front and back lights on my bike, a driver that nearly killed me complained that they thought I was further away as my light was small and blamed me...
The reason why cyclists and pedestrians push back against these types of campaigns is not because we think visibility is bad (I wear hig-viz!), but because it's victim blaming that diverts attention from the real issues: dangerous drivers and poor infrastructure

I’m old enough to remember when the right wing in the United States insisted that gun rights “trumped” everything else, so having an unused legal gun wasn’t a reason for immigration officers to murder you.
Also, that the reason for those gun rights was to protect from an out-of-control government.
