A clear case of hatred of EU causing massive brain rot for @gruber

I have a car with speed control and it is brilliant, the problem is the cars that don’t have it. The sooner we all keep to the speed limit the better.

#SpeedKills: Often, a small number of local streets account for a high proportion of serious traffic injuries and deaths – and that’s where we must start. A single stretch of Marin Avenue, where Julia’s collision occurred, was responsible for over 20% of Berkeley traffic deaths between 2012-2022.  
Streets are not designed to prioritize safety, and that needs to change. This means streets with slower speeds, shorter and more visible crosswalks, lower turning speeds, protected bike lanes and other physical changes – many of the core tenets of Caltrans’ complete streets policy.

JonathanVankin for California Local- In California, speeding-related tragedies were 35 percent of the total 4,285 traffic fatalities in the state happened due to excessive speeds. That’s about 1,500 deaths.
Friedman also authored 2021’s AB43, which allows local governments to lower speed limits without following the state-mandated “85th percentile rule,”
Under Friedman’s new legislation, AB645,  Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, Long Beach and San Francisco will be allowed to install the automated cameras—previously prohibited under state law—in “high injury network” areas, that is, areas where the highest percentage of crashes occur. The cameras will also be allowed near schools, and in areas prone to street racing.

#SpeedKills: “Our study of #city #lanewidths found that contrary to the current thinking, wider lanes in urban areas can lead to a higher number of #crashes and ultimately #fatalities,” said Shima Hamidi, Ph.D., Bloomberg Assistant Professor of American Health and director of the Center for Climate-Smart Transportation at the Bloomberg School.

The Drive · Narrower City Streets Could Actually Be Safer: StudyAccording to a new study, narrower city streets with more walking and cycling space can improve both vehicle and pedestrian safety.
