@DavidZipper If I practiced engineering with such disregard to the safety of people, I'd be de-registered, prosecuted, fined, sued by victims' loved-ones & probably end up in jail. Traffic engineers are unique in engineering in that they get a free pass to design unsafe systems.

If an architect were to design your house like this - you'd fire them.
Why then do we allow professionals to design our cities like this?

Just taking a minute to appreciate how amazing humanity can be. The average vaccine development is 10.7yrs -- increasingly positive results indicate we'll have a COVID vax in less than a year. Can't help but be optimistic about the future.

COVID-19 creates new momentum for cycling and walking. We can’t let it go to waste! https://t.co/7fsl0ADlHf via @WorldBank

As countries battle the spread of #COVID19, contact-tracing apps have sparked some hope… and a fair bit of controversy. Our technology expert @tatipq weighs in on the #BigData debate: https://t.co/LXoiLN8YEu

Although the coronavirus (COVID-19) has brought much of transport to a screeching halt, there are many reasons to believe that the pandemic will accelerate—rather than impede—the digitization of urban mobility. https://t.co/U5DOqtCV7S

Amazing leadership from London - how to use the disruption to bring forth an era of new clean mobility

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

JUST ANNOUNCED: our plans to make central London one of the largest car-free zones in any capital city in the world, increasing walking and cycling and improving our air quality.

London's road to recovery cannot be clogged with cars.

India's PM Modi is requiring people to use an app that collects data not only on whether you were near someone who was infected by the coronavirus (proximity data) but also where you were (location data), which needlessly exposes people's personal lives. https://t.co/VQQWOG1UwN

One of the major costs of data protection is how many digital human rights analysis start and end with data.

If a government launches a totally unproven, highly invasive, knowably abused product, claiming it has a health benefit, the first question isn’t how it processes data.

[Tatiana PQ @tatipq]

@turleyvoulgaris Agree. But the perfect is enemy of the good. They give us a good indication of general demand. Not enough to base entire policy but good for identifying trends. More importantly, we need to be aware of the representation bias of using any of these data sources.

Apple mobility trends show that as the US starts moving again, people are choosing auto over transit. Long road ahead for Public Transport. We need to strengthen our commitment to mass transit. PT & NMT is at the heart of every sustainable transport strategy

[Tatiana PQ @tatipq]

@canonleonardo Hopefully the will continue and expand their commitment to share #opendata

New Zealand has become the first country to officially fund #tacticalurbanism through government policy, helping people maintain more space and accelerate sustainable mobility in response to #COVID19.

I wish > people taking stances on the necessity of contact tracing apps had experience deploying an app in contexts like this (emergencies).

And I wish more people taking stances on the effectiveness of tech interventions would include data on adoption + impact on public health.

Let's spread this custom please. Face shields are ubiquitous in Turkey. Here are retail workers wearing commonly available plastic face shields. They make it impossible to touch one's own face.

Looks like effective self-protection. Cheap and I am told all-day-comfy as well!
