"We need to design our streets and roads to be safe not for the predictable abstractions of our best-laid plans, but for the complex, unpredictable, flesh-and-blood people who actually use them. We need to #SlowTheCars." John Pattison Strong Towns strongtowns.org/journal/2021/1…

From now on, speed limit in #Bordeaux drops from 50 km/h to 30 (30 to 20 mph). Joins #Montpellier #Grenoble, #Nice, #Lille, #Nantes, 200 other cities in #France with 30 km/h limits. This has already led to an astonishing 70% decrease in crash fatalities. 20minutes.fr/bordeaux/32089…

☝️“We would like to remind all Edmontonians that speed is a factor in every crash. Slowing down gives us more time to react to the unexpected, reduces unnecessary tragedies on our roads & has very little impact on travel times.” — City of Edmonton safe mobility Rajna Tufegdzic.✊

The solution to the problems wrought by automobiles isn't better cars. Nor is it more costly, confining automobile infrastructure. It's safe, space-efficient, low-emission alternatives like walking, cycling & public transit. x.com/adamtranter/st… #peakMusk #thinkoutsidethecar

I am happy to announce we are the first community in Ottawa where all residential streets are at 30km/hr speed limits

This is the way to do 30k. Re-set the limits in a wide swath, focussing on residential streets. Then you can install speed bumps & other calming measures to align with that ppl-friendly limit. Congrats to Mathieu Fleury, & to all who made this happen. x.com/MathieuFleury/…

Most people in British Columbia want to live on slower streets. What are we waiting for?

Love 30 Canada Most people everywhere want to live on slower streets so that they can enjoy them. Give the streets back to people.
