SeattleSwiftieSeen in #sedonaaz. A town with little shops and thousands of pedestrians. Remember, even in towns literally built to be walked around in, the car is more important. It doesn't matter if it's 110 degrees or that you're here enjoying your day and want to see what's at the shop across the street, the car has priority.
And yes. Pedestrian is misspelled too.

This isn't new, this latest research paper builds on what we have known about air pollution for over 25 years... "Ambient air pollution is a well-established risk factor for chronic diseases".
The real puzzle is why haven't we tackled the major sources of ambient air pollution, such as road transport?
Angelino DesmetNow do IQ verification for car drivers.
Ten years ago I observed texting while driving once or twice daily. Today I'd be surprised if it went below 50% of the drivers. It's absurd we allow morons to operate death machines; unfortunately our "economy" is highly car centric.
Counterintuitively though, road accidents have been dropping somewhat, at least in Belgium: https://statbel.fgov.be/en/themes/mobility/traffic/road-accidents
Nevertheless, texting and driving remains an act of morons.

"... agencies dedicate substantial time, money, and resources to providing roadways. Even with relatively generous assumptions and no external costs from driving, however, we estimated that the average
cost of expanding roadways
exceeded the benefits by a factor of nearly three
when accounting for land value. Policymakers should question ... roadway expansion and consider ... more housing, offices, and other land uses."
