Lessons from 6 Years of Local Advocacy

6년간 샌마테오에서 안전한 거리, 대중교통, 주택 옹호 활동을 하며 얻은 교훈을 공유한다. 차량 속도가 보행자 안전에 가장 큰 영향을 미치며, 느린 거리 조성이 자전거 차선보다 더 폭넓은 지지를 얻는다는 점을 강조한다. 도시의 토지 이용과 주차 최소 규제가 보행과 교통 행동에 근본적 영향을 미치며, 고령자들이 지역 교통 정책 변화에 중요한 지지층임을 발견했다. 도로 프로젝트는 긴 시간이 걸리므로 지속적인 관심과 체계적인 추적이 필요하며, 개인의 운전 대체 행동이 지역 교통 정책에 실질적 영향을 준다는 점도 중요하다.

These features will not impact local traffic, public and school bus services, emergency vehicles or service delivery vehicles.” #FairfaxVA #SlowStreets #SafeStreets #BikeTooter #walkable #VisionZero
Fairfax County to test ‘Slow Streets’ project in downtown Springfield | FFXnow

Fairfax County is developing a "Slow Streets" pilot project to slow traffic and scale back cut-through traffic on a residential street in Springfield. Supported by a federal grant accepted by the Board of Supervisors last week, the project will drop speeds at Cumberland Avenue and Dinwiddie Street to 15 mph from the current 25 mph

"The small city of Hailey, Idaho, for instance, experienced a staggering single-year jump of 53 points, rising to a total score of 77 and technically outpacing the top-ranked large city on the list, thanks in large part to an effort to drop speed limits as low as 15 to 20 miles per hour on many of its streets.”
