Essential details in active infrastructure design includes lighting. Unfortunately most of our paths in North America are draped in darkness, but to provide a basic layer of safety for everyone, our underpasses should be well lit.

Once upon a time, a bicycle was considered the ultimate Christmas gift.
This is a 1948 advert - from the days when Schwinn had "Long as you own it" guarantees.
The company still has a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Due to lax regulations and enforcement, the driver of this SUV could hit and injure or kill someone and then choose to drive away without their license plate being easily readable.
This is not uncommon. It's everywhere. Car culture has no accountability or guard rails.

Cars are a lot slower than people think. This driver commutes at 4 MPH. That's barely faster than walking (avg walking pace is around 3.3 MPH)
They could cut their commute to 15 minutes biking at 12 MPH, but they might not have a safe route to do so
We are forcing people into terrible car commutes
