Who is responsible here? The engineer who designed the road? The construction industry that uses these killer trucks? The government for refusing even to make sideguards mandatory, let alone regulate truck design as they do in Europe, where the rate of killing and injury has been cut in half?
A crossing guard dies in Hamilton, Ontario, due to regulatory failure and bad design
Meanwhile, in London, the government says, "safe vehicles save lives."

The massacre took place on the night of 23-24 of March 2025.
Ten days later, 4th April, the commander of the same army unit (Golani Recon) was filmed instructing his soldiers:
"Everyone we meet in Gaza is an enemy. We identify a person, we shoot, we kill, and carry on. Don't get confused."

Dramatic reporting from Haaretz Yaniv Kubovich confirms: killing of the paramedics was a cold blooded massacre.
-Israel had allowed unrestricted movement of civilians on route
-Forces were aware of ambulance traffic
-Troops shot from close range, as paramedics yelled that they are first responders

In Bloomberg CityLab, I explained why cities must build cycling *networks* – not just lanes.
It’s a lesson that many elected leaders have yet to learn (esp Ontario’s Doug Ford, who is taking a sledgehammer to Toronto's cycling network).
