Roundabouts are better for safety and #SaintJohn should have lots of them. Why don't we #movesj? At a crazy intersection for pedestrians, here's the first nomination for anti-people intersections in need of a roundabout: https://t.co/VvfqpZeeDg
Some people refuse to believe roundabouts are safer than stop signs & traffic lights. No amount of data will convince them otherwise.
🛑to roundabout:
82% reduction in fatal and injury crashes
🚦 to roundabout:
78% reduction in fatal and injury crashes
"Cities are meant to stop traffic. That is their point. That is why they are there. That is why traders put outposts there, merchants put shops there, hoteliers erect inns there. Rationally one wants to have traffic *stop* there, not go *through*."
And a great example of a protected bike lane that people will actually use (hint: not just paint), @cityofsaintjohn. #movesj #peoplecity

Next time someone tries arguing that it’s “social engineering” (cue ominous music) to give people CHOICES to walk, bike & take public transit, tell them that designing our current car DEPENDENCY has been the largest & most damaging social engineering experiment in human history.
If traffic engineers also care about LOS for pedestrians and cyclists, why the monstrous intersections?
What's that? LOS is only measured for vehicles? #thisisbroken #peoplecity #movesj
Level of Service (LOS) is how traffic engineers justify monstrous intersections like this. LOS has nothing to do with safety, but it's the driving force behind traffic analysis. 🧵
This is less money than was spent on the one-mile interchange 2 decades ago; a single overpass to get trucks from the highway to Bayside Drive. @thechambersj fought for it
One intersection or a complete city network of safe cycling and walking routes?
#peoplecity #movesj
Seville, Spain eliminated 5,000 car parking spaces and built an 80 km protected cycling network in just 18 months with 32 million €.
Result: 70,000 trips/day. HT @davidlois_UNED
"Truck problems on both Ready and Harding streets would be immediately solved if the city could realign busy Simms Corner..."

📣 The Third Edition of the Urban Bikeway Design Guide will be released this fall! 📣
An #EV is better for the air in our #peoplecity than a gas or diesel-powered vehicle. Obviously.
Even better? Safe infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists so you don't have to own a car or truck at all to live here! #movesj #saferoutesSJ #energytransition #Zero30
...and 40% within 7kms. Finish Harbour Passage - all over the place! #SafeRoutesSJ #MoveSJ
Forget the failed/embarrassing "traffic calming" PR exercise and build safe routes for non-polluting commuters. #SJcouncil
30 percent of the population in the Saint John Region commutes less than 5km.

Easy, inexpensive traffic calming for each of the 5 side street intersections on Douglas Avenue, keeping traffic moving but at a safe speed for a residential neighbourhood, currently designed to be a racetrack. @cityofsaintjohn #movesj #SJcouncil
The broke city's guide to traffic calming: old concrete pipe filled with dirt are one the cheapest yet most effective ways to turn any resident intersection into a mini roundabout!
Near impossible to speed through the intersection, and doesn't negatively impact pedestrians!
Just as #ebikes give their riders assistance pedalling, @SJEnergy wants to help our customers make the purchase. MORE: https://t.co/z8cELz9RJw
“E-bikes make an equal playground for everybody. No matter your fitness level, you can play, too.” #Zero30 #ebike #activetransportation
People first. “If cities wish to improve their traffic safety outcomes, they should first and foremost plan and design for the convenience and safety of those not using a personal automobile,” the study concludes. #peoplecity #sjcouncil #movesj @cityofsaintjohn
Yet another study shows that bicycle-friendly cities are safer for ALL road users, including drivers. Via @MomentumMag https://t.co/qVLKoWXXP6

Cities get the traffic we design for. When we design and build for all ages and abilities, we get the best kind of traffic:
PSA: If your big ass pickup truck is too big to fit into a parking spot, you should pay for two. If you're taking up two spots and you've only paid for one, you should be fined for the other. #movesj @cityofsaintjohn
Amazon delivering packages in Manchester. Even on a road like that, it makes sense. Makes even more sense on urban streets that don’t look like that. HT @H_H_Gray https://t.co/PYFZ73fDj1
Higher levels of environmental noise are linked to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and cognitive impairment in children.
The good news is, there are simple things we can do to address it.
