🚨Attention Iowans-- New law alert! The crosswalk law in Iowa was recently updated to expand protections to all persons, including those using pedestrian conveyances (bicycles, scooters, wheelchairs, babies in strollers, etc.). More info from our lab: https://t.co/0LE5vlyZJb

I'd like to share an op-ed I wrote which was published in the @DMRegister on Sunday. It highlights the gap in crosswalks laws and Iowa and many other states in the US which leave many people vulnerable. https://t.co/4VZsGEUPsu

2) Drivers w/prior non-moving violations were less likely to be crash culpable compared to drivers with no prior warnings or citations and 3) Crash culpability was similar amongst drivers with prior warnings and drivers with no prior warnings or citations. @UIIPRC

[Cara Hamann, MPH, PhD @Cara_Hamann]

🚨 New pub alert! "...Crash culpability and the effectiveness of written warnings versus citations" We found that 1) previously cited drivers were more likely to be culpable in a crash compared to previously warned drivers.

🚨 Check out this new pub led by outstanding @InTrans_ISU doctoral student Archana Venkatachalapathy showing the impact of daytime running lights and vehicle passing events on bicyclist physiological stress. @UIIPRC

[Elsevier Transport @Transport_ELS]

This study in Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives aims to understand cyclist stress as measured by physiological response experienced during cycling using naturalistic data. https://t.co/wEYwdLlRHD

🚨 New pub alert! We recently published a paper looking at charge combinations and conviction rates among alcohol-influenced drivers involved in motorcycle crashes. @uiiprc You can access the article for free using this link until November 13th: https://t.co/xowRRTEt4C

[Cara Hamann, MPH, PhD @Cara_Hamann]

•Drivers charged with more than one offense type were more likely to be convicted.
•Having multiple charge types did not result in higher alcohol-specific convictions.
