Good news, seen from my mobility perspective.
Mobility needs of men and women are different (eg women trip-chain more), and also that women are underrepresented in planning and decision-making.

What if more women were working in transport?
Later this year I've been working in the transport sector for 25 years. It was not meant to be, but by twists and turns my career path led me into transport and mobility.

Remember, whenever you hear that “speed wasn’t a factor” in a deadly crash, what they mean is that the car involved wasn’t technically speeding. At least not by much. It presumes that the speed limit wasn’t too high to begin with.
When it comes to death from collisions, SPEED IS ALWAYS a factor.

Never forget, when you’re being asked to prove that safe bike-lanes or pedestrian crossings across unsafe conditions are ‘needed,’ it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging river.

This is important.
Years ago, while I was advising the City of Sydney Australia on various things, there was an INFAMOUS day where a particularly bad state-level minister of roads was stuck in traffic and saw bike riders zooming by his limousine in a well-used, safe, protected bike-lane.
