A better world IS possible.
Helsinki hasn't had a traffic fatality in a year: "Helsinki's current traffic safety strategy, covering 2022–2026, is nearing completion. It has focused on improving safety for children, youth, pedestrians and cyclists with safer crosswalks and smarter intersection design."
Helsinki goes a full year without a traffic death
A city traffic engineer credits the success to lower speed limits and smarter design.

This is an outrageous policy change. Also, if you’re gonna do this then you gotta do it for drivers, too right? Given those are obviously far far more dangerous vehicles.

Policy Change: NYPD Will Write Criminal Summonses, Not Traffic Tickets, for Cyclists - Streetsblog New York City
Quietly, the NYPD has changed policy and will now make criminal cases against cyclists who go through red lights, a change that will have predictable and unpredictable ramifications.

So true. The ads are ridiculous.
It's funny how all these SUV car commercials depict ecstatic people barreling through unblemished wilderness, when really those cars will be used to sit in traffic in urban sprawl. 🥴

WTF? 56 years ago, my family lost my baby sister to SIDS. I grew up without a sister because of it. Today I learned the federal government canceled NIH participation in the Safe to Sleep campaign that helped reduce infant deaths by 45% since 1994.

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.”

Not that many years ago, Paris was choking in car traffic. And it wasn’t a safe place to ride a bike for transportation, so not many people tried.

This is new. This is a result of deliberate vision, and bold leadership.

Cities are a result of choices.

Why waste resources targeting cyclists when cars pose the real threat? The Idaho Stop would solve this absurd ticketing imbalance, but City Hall keeps blocking DOT's implementation. #StreetSafety #BikeNYC #VisionZero

Why has the NYPD prioritized writing red-light tickets to the lightest, slowest-moving vehicles instead of doubling-down on enforcement against 3,000-pound-plus killing machines?

Also this is how it starts: academics banding together, which leads to universities banding together, which leads to companies banding together, which leads to states banding together, which leads to nations banding together - all so Trump can’t extort us one by one
