I cover regional transportation at the Sacramento Bee, and I would love to receive an email about dangerous roads near you: alange@sacbee.com

Ariane Lange at the Sac Bee and Jose Fermoso at Oaklandside are the only reporters in California (or anywhere, as far as I'm aware) who are actually covering traffic violence as the public health and social crisis that it is.

I wrote about public transit demand, vehicular homicide, dangerous roads and the lack of urgency around responding to any of them. It's also a story about a pedestrian who died in a crash—Drew Pringle, 21—and the staggering grief borne by his sister Erika. www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...
She says her brother was murdered. In California, the crash was an ‘accident’
4,000 Californians die in car crashes each year, usually in preventable collisions. Why?

I did some urbanist background research for the story and learned that stifling grief over traffic deaths was a PR tactic of the 1920s/'30s auto industry. Which makes sense—how else could we bear all this?

Occasionally, I drove across the street. Literally got into my car just to cross the street. The impact of dangerous infrastructure is clear when you read about a pedestrian death. Its impact is also more insidious: It shapes people's lives and constricts their choices.

I thought about this a lot when I lived there. In order to walk to the falafel place across the street, for example, I had to go 2/3 of a mile out of my way to the nearest signalized intersection because I feared I would die on Fulton if I crossed my non-signalized intersection.
