Ann Arbor is expanding No Turn on Red in the downtown area to reduce conflict points at intersections. New signs are going up so be aware.

“What these changes will do is improve the travelling conditions, ­making it safer for all road users and reduce the potential for death and serious injury on the road.”

Good for Edmonton. On any given walk or ride up @KeddyTrail I'll hear at least $5K worth.

Obnoxiously loud vehicles will be fined $1K following changes passed by Edmonton city council https://t.co/ZTVhsMstil

“more tiny pollution particles now come from tyre erosion than are emitted from vehicle exhausts.”

Electric cars are good for car companies, not so good for the planet as plugged. https://t.co/dK44StUUwX

@VancouverSun Vancouver Sun is not listed as one of the papers in the bundle. Confused.

What’s the lesson here?

[Politics & Education @PoliticsAndEd]

Driver acting like a maniac just to get 1 car ahead in a line of traffic. We see it every single day. Apparently this scumbag had his 4-year-old in the car too. No sign will ever deter this lunacy.

Officers caught an impaired driver operating this imitation police vehicle on Wednesday. They were also in possession of drugs for trafficking and an imitation firearm. The most shocking was they were in the care of a young child in the back seat. https://t.co/ieB8pllOGD

@Adam_Stirling @mattdellok @vicpdcanada Kudos to VicPD for giving us the facts. We must never cave to pressure from anyone to suppress the truth.

@adamTford Just add ice to the tiny shreds of fallen metal.

[Dean Murdock @Dean_Murdock]

Serious injuries on our roads is not inevitable. We can create infrastructure improvements and improve enforcement that protects all road users. We will work with ⁦@TranBC⁩ to make this crossing safe for everyone. #RoadSafety https://t.co/cVoYuXtcmC

@MarcTennant I like it. And it looks affordable too

“Nine drivers did not have their licences, five were impaired and many had no insurance.”

If any other safety-critical system (think aviation, marine, rail, or energy) had a day like this it’d be shut down immediately. But roads? Nah. This is the norm. https://t.co/uu41qbiQy8

[North Vancouver RCMP @nvanrcmp]

It sure looks cool, but DYK that you can’t have ANY tint on the front driver and/or passenger side windows? Fine=$109. Now you know! #FineFriday

[Neil Arason (he/him) @neilarason]

@nellen55 Good question. Drive down W. Saanich Road (have a coffee or breakfast sandwich at Mosi Bakery, that’s a must!) and then it’s just down the hill on a road called Sparton Road.

[Neil Arason (he/him) @neilarason]

Now that’s how you do a safe pedestrian crossing. Complete with a speed hump for vehicles and narrowing a two-way road into a single lane right where people cross the street.
