THREAD: Things we have learned about the site of the recent scooter tragedy:
A. The intersection has an unprotected left turn on green for drivers.
B. This allows left turns at the same time as pedestrians receive the 'WALK' phase to cross LeJeune.

So speed reduction IS possible by putting by 1) narrowing the lane and 2) putting more people on the road?
It just doesn’t matter when it’s cyclists or kids getting to school.

Last year, 1,784 North Carolinians left for a destination and never made it home. Many U.S. streets are #DangerousByDesign . On this #WDoR2023 , let's demand #SafeStreetsForPeople , especially for most vulnerable road users: people walking & biking.
Three drivers who have a very liberal interpretation of the 35 mph speed limit on River Rd. Of course MD State Highway Adm only changed the speed limit signs without changing the road lay out, so the road still invites people to drive 45-55 mph. #DangerousByDesign #VisionZero
All around us in D-1 (Amanda P. Sandoval), once you see it, you can’t unsee it: Our city streets are #DangerousByDesign , prioritizing the speed & convenience of motorists over our collective health & well-being.
This at Lowell Blvd a block away from a park.

Even when everyone does what they should, the Erwin #crisscrosscrash is still a little terrifying and #dangerousbydesign
#Needhamst #DedhamMA
Thank you for biking.
I hope you continue to bike despite how our infrastructure prioritizes cars. Here, it’s a 30ft wide of the 2nd most citationed roadway in town, also a school zone.

Another pedestrian was killed at this same intersection one year ago. While I hope for a better outcome for this latest injured person, hopes are not enough. #DangerousByDesign
Person crossing the street killed by a car driver, 23rd Street in western Independence. Here is what this 5 lane, high speed state highway running thru the middle of a city looks like. Missing sidewalks & a mile between safe crossing is #DangerousByDesign

So now this #dangerousbydesign intersection at N Miami Ave and 20th St not only has a missing pedestrian signal. A driver also crashed into the traffic cabinet. Amazing.

#DangerousByDesign on CBS Sunday Morning:
I nearly gasped out loud while standing next to Beth Osborne as a driver zoomed thru the slip lane behind her, right at the moment she described them. 0:21 in the below vid 🧵
The intersection of Rockville Pike/355 & Halpine Rd (next to 'Twinbrook Quarter') is #DangerousByDesign .
2015-2023 crashes with police reports:🔴fatal injury⭐️serious injury🟦injury🔲no injury. 2024 crash data still not available.
The truth is this: #trafficviolence is preventable. If we make the choice to prioritize safety over speed, we can save lives.

This stretch of Montrose was *just* resurfaced a few months ago with minimal changes to the striping or roadway design. Arterial resurfacing projects ostensibly get reviewed for complete street fixes yet this is what we get. #DangerousByDesign #SafeStreetsForAll
Littleton, Colorado The article it speaks about a 7 yo who was killed. A city director is saying they went out to the intersection to see if they designed anything wrong, and discovered (surprise surprise!) that they have not. This is the intersection. This intersection looks #DangerousByDesign
