Well cute green fuzzy owls aren’t the only ones at risk of being killed by a #cybertruck. Their design is 1 of the most frightening we’ve seen on the road @NHTSAgov should be regulating vehicle design, size & weight w pedestrians, cyclists (+ owls) in mind https://t.co/Q8jId9hGGQ

Thank you @cambbikesafety & all the advocates for an incredibly powerful #WorldDayOfRemembrance ride &rally for safe streets. We need better road design, future legislation & ways to get ppl to buy smaller cars. @VoteSteveOwens @MannyCruz_MA @MassBike

The best 'technology' for slowing traffic and keeping people safe is decidedly *low* tech.

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

On the safety benefits of quality bike lanes:

This new study finds that protected lanes reduce avg car speeds by 28%, plus 21% for cars turning right.

Painted bike lanes generate only a 11-15% speed reduction for cars turning right.

We must slow down, we must have our eyes up, we must purchase vehicles that we can see children from. Whatever the circumstance of this horrible tragedy, this child’s death was preventable. @WBUR @bobWGBH @BostonBTD @BostonGlobe @universalhub @Visionzeronet @NHTSAgov @NTSB @WCVB

We are devastated to hear that a 4-year-old girl was fatally struck by the driver of a pickup truck in Fort Point yesterday. Children deserve to be safe on our streets. #VisionZero

If you’re driving a truck so big that you take out a car’s front bumper and another car’s back bumper while trying to weasel your way into a lane IN a rotary, your truck is probably too big. @ElleryKlein @Visionzeronet @NYC_SafeStreets @NHTSAgov #smallercars #streetsafety

There are three kinds of distracted driving: cognitive, manual, and visual. Texting and driving use all three types. Turn on Do Not Disturb to minimize distractions and ensure you are keeping your #EyesUpPhonesDown.

"No one I spoke to for this piece could name a recent sizable pedestrianization or traffic-reduction scheme that had been reversed once it had been given time to have an effect."

Did you know?

Sending/reading a text takes your eyes off the road for 5 sec. At 55 mph, that's like 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝. 🙈

Put your phone down and enjoy a safe drive.

[Safe Roads Alliance @Safe_Roads]

No text or alert is worth a life. Make sure you are keeping your #EyesUpPhonesDown by enabling Do Not Disturb before you start your drive. Thanks @worcesterda for this campaign against #DistractedDriving @massdot @TweetWorcester @WorcesterPD @SafeRoutes_MA #WalkBikeWorcester

Get mad when you peek at the driver next to you and see them on their phone? So do we.😤

Be better, don't be that guy.

Simply turn on your 'Do Not Disturb', and enjoy the drive! #massDoNotDisturb #HandsFreeLaw
