“If adopted, these changes would mark one of the most significant intersection-safety reforms in Vancouver in years…The City’s own data indicate that conflicts involving right-turns are among the most common types of pedestrian collisions — many occurring when pedestrians cross with a walk signal.”
Vancouver city councillor @lucymaloney.bsky.social has introduced a new Council motion that would get rid of right turns on red lights in the city. Via @dailyhivevancouver.bsky.social
Unquestionably the smart, evidence-based move for EVERYONE’s safety, but especially for people walking & on bikes.

Put another way, we’ve been convinced that cars represent “freedom” in places where we’ve built car dependency. That dependency took away our freedom, and the car industry convinced us that we could ONLY get it back if we paid whatever increasing costs of car ownership they demand.
Some “freedom.”
Some “freedom.”
Never forget, car dependency isn’t freedom.
Some might ask “what’s more free than cars?”
Choices.
Choices are more free than car dependency.
It’s not a hard concept.
I’m not pitting cars against any other single mode of transport.
I’m rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.

Biking in winter is less safe than biking in the summer, but mostly because tons of drivers don't clear all the snow off their windows...

It's funny to me in a not so funny way that in this, the time point in history with the brightest vehicle headlights in the history of the planet, we're still asking pedestrians to dress like construction workers to walk a few blocks after dinner

It's crazy that companies are forced to speed-limit e-bikes at 32kph when the lowest speed limit is 40kph, but you can buy a car that goes 250kph when the max speed limit is 110 kph

Idaho stop everywhere theconversation.com/cyclists-may...
Cyclists may be right to run stop signs and red lights. Here’s why
Should cyclists be allowed to treat stop signs as yield signs? This rule from Idaho is divisive, but the scientific data is surprising.

I’d like to save the Ford Government of Ontario $9 million dollars of the public’s money.
No, a 60km tunnel under highway 401 isn’t feasible.
In fact, it’s colossally stupid.
It’s possible that it’s all a distraction from the failure to properly invest in public transit.
You’re welcome.
