🧵París no ha hecho magia ha hecho POLÍTICA URBANA
El milagro de los 15 minutos no va de pintar carriles bici, va de decidir que la ciudad deje de organizarse en torno al coche y empiece a hacerlo en torno a la vida cotidiana: caminar, cuidar, comprar..

Delighted to see this near @nyuniversity. It became three lanes of parking and dangerous for cyclists after a street redesign—now it works better for all road users.

better transit = smaller parking lots = bigger playgrounds

American crosswalks aren't safe even if you have the Walk signal.

[Street Design @Street_Design]

Notice the clean, simple design of London streets - which are 4 or 5 times safer than American city streets.

[Peter Norton @PeterNorton12]

When we misdefine local streets as motor throughways, we degrade community livability, health and safety.

Norman Garrick and Tobias Kuhnimhof:

“Functional classification [can] impede rather than ... support suitable highway design.”

I spotted five family bikes at a single junction this morning. Not an event or a photoshoot; just the school run in London🚲

Over 250,000 cars do the morning school run in LDN - our bike lanes & school streets are enabling families to choose better options. 🚲🚶‍♀️🛴👨‍🦽🤸‍♀️
