What humans see with their eyes matter, and while you might not know any specialised lighting software, we at SALUS lab have created #SALUSLux a python package that could help designers avoid something like this crash.

Smart Safety Connection Seminar—Katherine Flanigan - Safety21

It is not necessary for every parent to drive their children to school. The walking bus concept was tested in Žilina by the city of Žilina together with the Department of the Chief Architect. In addition, different directions were marked with colored bus signs, similar to the color coding of lines in public transport. #zilina #streetforkids #safestreet #walkingschoolbus #sustainablemobility

What's going on with these clusters of "unsafe backing" crashes around our courthouse?

Is this a sign all the angled parking should be switched to "back-in"? The most straightforward cause would seem to be people backing into the intersections from angled parking.

Maybe some could be from delivery trucks parked in the street? Not sure why they would be backing up though. Seems like they stop, unload, roll forward.

#BusinessAsUsual: In a city full of bad behavior that goes unchecked, #vehicles blocking the paths of #bicyclists and #pedestrians with no repercussions are one notorious example.

#KillerStreets Vs: The fact that Lake Street’s #SlowStreet is under threat at all is troubling. The agency’s board already approved a plan to make it permanent last year. If it only takes a few unhappy neighbors to unravel a decision that’s already been made, what does that say about the future of any of our #SafeStreet improvements? https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/editorials/article/SF-slow-streets-traffic-17627177.php
Editorial: Don’t get rid of S.F.’s Slow Streets, make them even better

Slow Streets are a wild success. Instead of arguing about whether they should exist, the...
