On the bottom: a raised crosswalk with daylighting, where the intersection narrows for better visibility and shorter crossing distance.

On the top: a traditional crosswalk where the sidewalk essentially disappears into the road for crossing.

French law requires “daylighting” all intersections—eliminating street parking within 5 m of crosswalks to improve pedestrian safety—by 2026. Paris will complete all intersections by end of 2025.

SF will begin enforcing a similar law with fines beginning on Jan 1 www.sfmta.com/blog/statewi...

Wow! How do you tame a large 8-lane arterial road? Dedicate half of it to buses and bikes.

Comment apaiser une grande artère de 8 voies? Réserver la moitié aux autobus et aux vélos.

“Every $1,300 New York invested in building bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 additional year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents, according to a new economic assessment.”

Bike-lanes are a sound public health investment.
