☠️ 3 lanes of traffic in each direction, going through various urban areas;

☠️ Speed limit is 45-55 mph, but cars are often going much faster;

☠️ Crosswalks are few & far between ...

KUDOS @CityofTacoma for lowering speed limits to 20 mph on residential streets, and 25 mph on arterial streets, in four of the city’s Neighborhood Business Districts.

@Love30ca Most people everywhere want to live on slower streets so that they can enjoy them. Give the streets back to people.

Most people in British Columbia want to live on slower streets.

What are we waiting for?

Our latest release: In 2019, public support for a lower speed limit on British Columbia’s residential streets stood at 58%. The proportion climbed to 61% in 2021 and has increased again this year to 66%. https://t.co/Lu9Zyurc5k

I am happy to announce we are the first community in Ottawa where all residential streets are at 30km/hr speed limits

[Love 30 Canada @Love30ca]

This is the way to do 30k.

Re-set the limits in a wide swath, focussing on residential streets.

Then you can install speed bumps & other calming measures to align with that ppl-friendly limit.

Congrats to @MathieuFleury, & to all who made this happen.

A fabulous 😊 community map showing, with this morning's committee approval (in blue), that #Lowertown, #SandyHill and #Vanier communities residentials streets are 30km/h speed limits.

A first in #Ottawa 👋

😎If #Winnipeg city council approves, the Enhanced Summer Bike Route Program will reopen 14 of the 17 routes tested last year, with speed limits reduced to 30 km/h from 50 km/h, from May 1 to Oct. 31.

@tomflood1 👆Well said (as usual) Tom.

People are often mystified when they meet safety campaigners who don't promote protective & reflective gear for people walking & cycling.

We have our reasons ...👇

Congrats to @Banff_Town Council for dropping #speedlimit to 30 km/h ❤️❤️❤️ on ALL streets.

The solution to the problems wrought by automobiles isn't better cars. Nor is it more costly, confining automobile infrastructure.

It's safe, space-efficient, low-emission alternatives like walking, cycling & public transit.

From now on, speed limit in #Bordeaux drops from 50 km/h to 30 (30 to 20 mph). Joins #Montpellier #Grenoble, #Nice, #Lille, #Nantes, 200 other cities in #France with 30 km/h limits.

This has already led to an astonishing 70% decrease in crash fatalities.

☝️“We would like to remind all Edmontonians that speed is a factor in every crash. Slowing down gives us more time to react to the unexpected, reduces unnecessary tragedies on our roads & has very little impact on travel times.”

"We need to design our streets and roads to be safe not for the predictable abstractions of our best-laid plans, but for the complex, unpredictable, flesh-and-blood people who actually use them. We need to #SlowTheCars."
