Thank you to @RipSullivan6 for supporting this bill and the opportunity to speak in support today. Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) is a great tool
For pedestrians, let’s extend it to cyclists! #valeg#bikes#alexandriaVA
The point of these signs is to show the legal passing distance. There's a disturbing urge by Americans to watch this thinking they're supposed to cheer for the bus driver.

3500-lb Car vs Pedestrian:
"Sadly, there's nothing we can do to improve safety. We offer our thoughts and prayers."
35-lb Scooter vs Pedestrian:
"We're banning scooters so this never happens again."
Narrower streets are safer streets.
Narrower streets get congested.
Congestion happens in vibrant neighborhoods.
So be careful if you're trying to “solve" congestion.
How journalists report traffic violence:
"The pedestrian, who may have been distracted by their phone, died at the hospital."
"The cyclist, who was wearing a helmet, will be buried Friday."
"The driver, who remained at the scene, fears they will suffer nightmares."
A century of male dominated planning has resulted in streets shaped for one purpose: the commute to work.
Only when cities start taking into account the many other “care trips” residents take in the day do they become more inclusive and gender equitable.
