Switching 50km/h speed limits to 30km/h would protect cyclists while barely affecting commutes, research finds
One expert says a cyclist hit by a car travelling 50km/h has about a one-in-ten chance of surviving, while at 30km/h it was a nine-in-ten chance

We have these really wide corridors called local streets. Could always rip up half the carriageway and increase planting all while reducing bitumen and not impacting ability to travel through those corridors?

Deep dive into the surge in US pedestrian deaths:
"It’s not that more pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles; it’s that the ones that are getting hit are more likely to die."
"[That] seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths."

That’s the realistically easy part done. Now, let’s start to add value to what’s been built with maximising opportunities up to 10km from Perth, not 45km.

All the more reason to get on your hiking boots, or jump on a bike and take a slower route through some of the amazing Hills around Perth and the South-West. Grab the train to High Wycombe and then the 275 or 276 and hop off for a walk.
As we head into the Noongar season of Kambarang (October - November) in the Perth Hills, the wildflower season has transformed the bush into a kaleidoscope of colours 💙💛🤍💜

It’s instructive that really good priority infrastructure for peds is often seen in private spaces and car parks. They realise the need to provide appropriate priority in those areas to keep people safer. Try do this in a public setting though and expect barrier after barrier and reasons for “no”

This is an INSANE decision by the E.U.
“By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.”
This will kill people.
