#Helsinki records zero #trafficDeath for full year
- the city lowered limits around schools to 30 km/h
- #Cycling and #walking #infrastructure has been expanded in recent years, helping to separate vulnerable #road users from #motorTraffic.
- Electric #scooters remain a challenge, though the city has responded by adjusting parking rules, restricting #speed in certain areas, and improving signage.
This part is sloped upwards meaning that #cyclists are usually slower and, if nothing else, would hinder #MotorTraffic, possibly causing frustration and the urge to overtake #bikers dangerously. The solution here is to allow #cycles and pedestrians on this path. The #BusLane is only active on weekday mornings.

Just overheard a couple of people walking together, one berating the other for stopping a car at a zebra crossing. He seemed to be claiming the car had the right of way.
We have Stockholm syndrome with #motorTraffic in this country - although we're held hostage by the tyranny of #cars, we doff our caps and subordinate ourselves to them.
Robert Schneider, Associate Professor Urban Planning at UWM studied 20 intersections in Milwaukee over the last two years. His team found that only 16% of drivers stopped for pedestrians in the crosswalk.
