Why should ALL neighbourhood streets have max speed 30 Kph / 20 mph?
They save lives.
Also, many more people walk, bike, enjoy each other. People.
#Cities4everyone have slower streets. (Humps, cameras). #Doable, everywhere.
Healthier & happier.
While NYC "sees an impressive 84% of its pedestrian-heavy major roadways with an average speed below 25 MPH" and gets credit for "bucking the worst national trends" on pedestrian deaths this data reinforces the power of #SlowerStreets and the need for #SammysLaw to improve safety
Why are speed limits "dysfunctional from top to bottom?" https://t.co/O4m9fSCqHP
Leaders like @CarlHeastie refuse to use basic physics to save lives and embrace the life-saving power of #SlowerStreets
#SammysLawNow gives safer streets to NYC and the whole state deserves them
#SlowerStreets #SaferCommunities: Our city is not a racetrack for vehicles. It is a place for people.
Thanks Councillor @jessaroo for bringing up this motion, unanimously passed by Council. We're calling for speed reduction around childcare centres: https://t.co/qScmXCvCWN
Driver crashes through barrier, across a sidewalk and lands on top of car. And people think folks walking and biking are the threat to safety. We really need to slow our streets Halifax. #StopVictimBlaming #HumaneStreets #SlowerStreets #StreetsAsPlaces https://t.co/vOYGyWIBxN
A single vehicle accident sent a vehicle through a guardrail into a parked car below near Kings Wharf. Emergency crews are on scene and traffic away from downtown is partially booked in the area #hfxtraffic
A driver hit someone with such force that they were thrown into another vehicle and caused this damage. We need a #VisionZero approach for our streets - when mistakes/a collision happens, you shouldn’t suffer a severe or life threatening injury. #SlowerStreets #HumaneStreets
A 30 year old male was taken to hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries after being struck by a hit-and-run driver at Columbus and Blackmarsh ~6:40pm. The dark-coloured SUV paused for a moment down the road then left the scene entirely. #nltraffic @VOCMNEWS
Want data for how slower speeds make for safer more livable places? @dongho_chang has it right here! Let's default to 35 km/h in neighbourhoods for streets for residents, seniors, and stick hockey,viewing streets as an extension of useable space for neighbours. #slowerstreets
2,400 miles or 60% of Seattle's streets were changed to 20 mph in 11/7/2016. 20% reduction in total number of collisions two years before (2014, 2015) compared with two years after (2017, 2018) data. 4,907 vs 3,912.
