You don’t know ‘what to do’ if you haven’t a clue on ‘how to get it done.’
This has been the case with the 2 decades’ old #CompleteStreets and the decade old #VisionZero / #SafeSystem paradigms.
We’ve claimed to know what needs doing without having a clue about how to actually do it.
Just today I listened to this amazing #MLStreetTalk with @tdietterich recommending:
» I think everybody should read #NancyLeveson book
'Engineering A Safer World'
because what she says is you don't build a #SafeSystem and then deploy it.
Safety is a really a control concept that a system is...we need to be constantly controlling and modifying the system to keep it safe.
And think it's very similar to this problem of the #UnknownUnknowns «
Remember: there is no such thing as nonviolent driving, only driving that is relatively more or less violent.
A truly #SafeSystem requires rendering driving increasingly less violent and obsolete.

วันนี้ ทีมงานสัญญาณไฟจราจรของ DOMI (Mobility and Infrastructure-City of Pittsburgh) ตั้งโปรแกรมและติดตั้ง treatment แบบ “Lead thru Interval” (ครั้งแรกเในเมือง) แยก Penn- Centre แยกใกล้ๆ Target
คนเดินเท้าข้ามถนนจะได้รับ 15 วินาทีนำหน้า (แทนที่3-5 วินาทีนำหน้าของ LPI แบบดั้งเดิม) กับยานพาหนะในทิศทางเดียวกัน
งานนี้เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของโครงการ East Liberty Priority corridors pedestrian and traffic safety plan.

Obviously it's ridiculous that our safest route to school includes a busy road with no pedestrian or bicycle facilities. This desperately needs to be addressed.
But a #SafeSystem also needs a culture of safety -- including drivers who can recognize when they need to slow down, give space, and have grace.
Using card stock to support a stack of several hundred toilets and calling it an accident when a slight miscue by a worker is followed by all the toilets crashing to the ground is exactly how the US roadway system works.
