In today’s least surprising local news, speed display signs aren’t enough to make our roads safer.
Speed display signs only slow drivers down by 1km/h: Halifax report
Halifax has installed nearly 50 speed display signs around the municipality, but on average they only slow down drivers by less than one km/h, according to a new staff report.

Safe streets aren’t controversial.
And we will continue building these flashing yellow lights pretending they protect pedestrians.

We're back today with Edmonton's Winters - the Good, the Bad, and the Data (Part 2).
Let's talk snow!
(Our only snowfall measurement is at the airport, which is quite a bit colder than the city. But it's what we've got, so we'll use it)

We have a lot of road widening projects coming up in #yeg. We should be asking if it’s worth the millions to limit congestion for a few minutes each day.

We never got called on to talk at the Traffic safety meeting. I did get a chance to bring up most of our points after.
Emotions were high and people are frustrated with our unsafe streets. 🧵

Another predictable fatality in Edmonton.
The city built a MUP on that intersection encouraging people to cross. There are multiple slip lanes and no infrastructure to slow drivers down.

With the increased size of SUVs and trucks Edmonton should update our daylighting laws. 5m only in the direction of travel is not enough. Why should you have to enter the road to be visible?

Opinion: Daylighting Isn’t Anti-Driver — It’s Pro-Common Sense - Streetsblog New York City
Listen to a Republican: "The Department of Transportation's negative report on daylighting is like judging the effectiveness of lifeboats on the Titanic by studying the ones that never left the ship."

Another avoidable collision #yegbike
This is right in the middle of LRT construction. The temporary MUP in the area ins't particularly great, and many of the projects intersections are unsafe crossings.
We need to do better.
Hopefully everyone involved in this collision is ok!

After 20:00hrs Thursday, EMS and the EFRS responded to a serious collision in the area of 111ST & 9AVE. A youth on a bicycle was reportedly hit by a driver. (Exact location is not currently known) No current update on injuries. #yeg

CBC posted a video talking about a building losing its on street parking due to bike lanes. Somehow they failed to mention the building’s TWO visitor parking lots. One of which you can even see in the video. #yegbike

Speaking Municipally mayor Knack interview:
I wished there was more pushback on knacks induced demand. We are likely to see a number of road widening projects this term and we should be more thoughtful about how we approach them.

Callingwood streets lab interactive map is up. Hopefully the city will actually do something about 178 st and 64 ave. It’s absolutely ridiculous to have a MUP in a busy shopping area without a crosswalk let alone curb extensions.

Drivers never look for pedestrians when they leave parking lots. We need raised crosswalks or speed bumps to be standard.
