Did you know that a human hit by a car at 30 km/hr has a 90% chance of survival?

A person, hit by a car at 40 km/hr has a 60% chance of survival.

Your neighbour, hit by a car at 50 km/hr has a 20% chance of survival.

Your friend, hit by a car at 60 km/hr has no chance of survival.

The chances of survival are cut in half if hit by a large truck or SUV.

@harold and yet, every time people oppose changes that would make streets safer, or say that cities prioritize enforcement revenue over safety, they say 'we don't have data '

@rbellinger We visited Paris last year after 7 years away and I was amazed at the transformation. It is clean and much less noisy. Lots of e-bikes and electric busses. Most taxis are electric or hybrid. Sitting outside in a café was a pleasant experience.
