Lover of cities, streets, and desserts. r/t’s and opinions my own, let’s not read between non-existent lines.

#safegessner For reconstructed Gessner from Westheimer to Richmond, COH plans to convert from 4 to 6 lanes even though traffic is declining. This will cost more $ to make it more dangerous in the face of stagnant traffic volumes.

@JayCrossley Annual statistics will have some stochastic variation. However it is safe to say that the increased enforcement safety strategy announced early in the year has not reduced Houston’s road casualties.

On this 2024 World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, a quick check of Houston’s 2024 road fatality status. 276 in TxDOT data, which lags about a month. We’re looking at 10-20% increase over 23. CODB unless it’s your loved one.

Nov 17th marks the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, a collection of global events “to remember the many millions who have been killed and seriously injured on the world’s roads.”

“No loss of life by traffic crash is acceptable and we can prevent people from dying on our roadways. Everyone deserves safe, accessible streets and sidewalks.”

@JNCOfrog @AbbieKamin Please say more. I'd like to be able to point to you when my friends say "that could never happen here".

[David Fields @planman72]

@billkellytexas No thanks, I’m full.

How does one explain daylight savings vis-a-vis supper time to a dog?

[David Fields @planman72]

@steeple_b @gia_francxsca @Glenntu2 Happy to. First show me your first study that says 12’ lanes are safer.

[David Fields @planman72]

@steeple_b @gia_francxsca @Glenntu2 I’ve got more studies from different sources around the world showing narrower lanes are safer, but none of them will matter to you.
Again, people die with your design and you can’t tell us why you want it. People live with mine. That’s common sense.

[David Fields @planman72]

@steeple_b @gia_francxsca @Glenntu2 No idea. Your turn.

@steeple_b @gia_francxsca @Glenntu2 What’s better about something you can’t use?
