What we're talking about this week in my Complete, Safe, Equitable Streets course:

  1. The legal frameworks that should guarantee #SafeStreetsForAll...and why they fail,
  2. The 4 types of cyclists, and
  3. The* downsides* of many well-meaning "safety" campaigns, including this one: https://www.fox5dc.com/news/make-eye-contact-with-drivers-before-crossing-the-street-pedestrian-safety-vienna-eye-to-eye

@DrTCombs Do you have thoughts about cultural differences re "making eye contact"? (gender-related too)

@mmb
I have very big thoughts...re culture, gender, neurodiversity

@DrTCombs God, this is worse than the ‘surrender flags’ they want pedestrians to use to cross the street around here!

@DrTCombs Impossible to look into a driver's eyes when their vehicle is covered in tinted glass. Such as was the case with in NYC.

@DrTCombs It isn’t always possible to look at the drivers eyes. Tinted windshields and sunglasses are only 2 of the possible problems. And once again is it up to the pedestrian’s responsibility to remain safe. 🤬
