I decided to see how many fatalities are happening on #Phoenix streets each year and what the trend is.
Forecast to 2030 and we will have someone getting killed on our streets every single day of the year.
Study by Justin Tyndall:
• Combine US pedestrian crash data with physical measurements of vehicle height.
• The effect of front-end vehicle height on pedestrian death probability is estimated.
• A 10 cm increase in front-end height causes a 22% increase in pedestrian fatality risk.
• The survival probability of women, children, and seniors are more strongly affected.

“Neither drugs nor alcohol appear to be factor in the initial collision.”
The two other drivers drove off.
(Reminds me of the six year old killed riding to school 21 years ago by a PA high schooler with a dirty windshield.)

So this @sfgate post about a #Waymo hitting a person on a bike:
I look forward to *bad street design* (🚲 lane across 4-way 🛑) being identified as the root cause...
... and it definitely not turning into yet another argument about who is at 'fault' 😩

Cites have billions for police overtime but nothing for red paint: “There’s a big gap in the public’s awareness of this legislation,” said Colin Heyne, a spokesman for the San Jose Department of Transportation. “We have more than 60,000 intersections in this city, so we’re not going to be able to paint the curbs red for every one of them. We need help from the state in hopefully educating drivers about this new law.”

#RegulatoryFailureOrDrownInABathtub. Inequality- supersizing your mobile dining room kills those fated to walk:
Since the 2008 recession, SUVs and pickup trucks have overtaken sedans and station wagons as the top selling vehicles. Now almost three-in-four new cars sold is an SUV or pickup. A number studies have confirmed the relationship between larger vehicles and rising pedestrian deaths. A 2015 review of the research by NHTSA found pedestrian who were struck by SUVs were 2.5 to three times more likely to be killed. Research by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety examined how squarer, more “aggressive-looking” front ends — which are in fashion right now in the automobile industry — contribute to the problem.

Yesterday #Phoenix Streets Dept. proposed *unprotected bike lanes* on an *arterial street* as the *best solution* they could come up with 🤯

Again louder for those in the back: Road design determines safety. Road design determines motorist behavior. Change the road design to improve safety and change motorist behavior. #ThereAreNoAccidents #TheseAreResults
