"Every act of rebellion, however spectacular or humble, is a reclamation of the self and a love letter to a stranger.

Across the darkness, another searching gaze catches the flicker, and a sacred bond is cast: I see you.I feel you.

We are still here".

'Remove benches, block cycle paths.' Secure by Design - UK style.

According to this policy, the most secure city is one with no-one in it. https://t.co/4nAlcYJU7P

Fabulous episode with @tomstandage outlining the path dependency of oil-fueled cars and why #ElectricVehicles failed to scale in the 1890s.

His book 'A Brief History of Motion' looks worth a read.

The US goes for zero road death goal, and commits to reform MUCTD, the obscure federal regulation which is a major obstacle to safer roads.

We have a similar regulations blocking safer streets.

Can we do the same @geordinhl? @alanwinde? @saice_civil?

If UK transport models are 'crude'....US and South African models are....? Profane? Obscene? Blasphemous?

‘Computer says road’: call for change to ‘crude’ planning models.

Neat, punchy summary by @guardiannews and a challenge to @ANCParliament. Who matters most? The ANC or the country?

So US freeways are racist in effect...even if not in intent. Sounds familiar. How to educate engineers about the social and political effects of their actions when engineers believe themselves to be heroes and politicians the villains?

This mundane, barely known US manual birthed the tropes which dominate South African traffic engineering. Now...for the first time it is being challenged. Let's watch and learn @OpenStreetsCT @MarianneCT1 @GuerreraCasas @carbonsmart

While the specifics are often ridiculous, the impact of this neglected document–which dictates the design of every street in America–contributes to 40,000 deaths on our streets every year.

Under today's #MUTCD, someone crossing a street is less important than the fast-flowing movement of cars.

Here's how we fix it:

If @NACTO can rework #MUTCD, can South Africa rework the Traffic Signs Manual? Injustice on roads is repeated thanks to the buried politics in Design Manuals.
