@clive I found the article somewhat irksome in that it paints this kind of ‘we can’t pinpoint causes’ way when we do know many things that help - slowing speeds, engineering roads and shared spaces better, creating better pedestrian infrastructure. The USA has been an outlier in the developed world for not making these changes and for not having declining rates of injury and death on our streets. We can do better and we know how to do it. #Transport#StreetSafety#USA#VisionZero
Car drivers kill 200-300 people per year in #NYC, and injure another > 60,000 people each and every year. And yet when people in this city try to get a permit to remove cars from their street for a day, they're denied by the #NYPD due to concerns about "violence." 🙄
