Drive Like Your Kid Died Here

Showing you the places where pedestrians and cyclists of all ages have been killed on American roads, the faces of those left behind, and how you can help.

It was not a cyclist who hit and killed my 5 year old son Zachary Cruz in a Berkeley crosswalk in 2009 @BerkeleyPDChief. When I fought for #VisionZero in Berkeley in Zachary’s honor, I wasn’t fighting for this. This policy is disrespectful to my son’s memory. Change it now. -FC

The @berkeleypolice department has taken a controversial approach to Vision Zero: citations of more than $200 for bicyclists who roll through stop signs. The enforcement campaign has caused outrage to spill from Twitter into City Hall.
