🌍 As part of the UPPER Horizon Europe Project, IFP is helping cities across Europe improve pedestrian access to public transport by sharing knowledge on walkability, accessibility, and inclusive design.

Streets must be designed for people, not machines.
Pedestrian safety is not optional.
It's time to end dangerous vehicle design.

#StreetsForPeople #SUVRegulation #ChildSafeCities

We’re calling for:
✅ 85 cm bonnet height cap by 2035
✅ Mandatory child-visibility tests
✅ Bonnet height listed in vehicle data
✅ Local fees for oversized vehicles (like in Paris, Cardiff, Lyon)

#UrbanMobility #MobilityJustice

📊 Why this matters:

– Avg bonnet height in 🇪🇺 rose from 76.9 cm (2010) to 83.8 cm (2024)
– 10 cm = 22–27% ↑ in fatal crash risk
– Some SUVs make 9yo children invisible to drivers
