It’s always nice seeing the police keep me safe by…blocking the bike lane and bus stop? #BikeTooter #urbanism #SafeStreetsForAll

The utter stupidity of allowing drivers to turn right on red lights is the hill I will die on. Probably literally. It's time to stop risking pedestrian and bicyclist lives by trusting drivers to decide when it's safe to go. #BanRTOR #SafeStreetsForAll #NCDOT captions in 🧵

Grateful to #DCHCMPO for recognizing the importance of listening to kids' perspectives on road safety.

This is how I wait for my kid at the end of the school day.

Yes, it's idyllic and we're extremely privileged. But also: we don't have to accept things that suck, like sitting in the car line breathing exhaust for half an hour every day. There's a #BetterWay to do things.

Today I was honked at and cursed at for the crime of…riding my electric bike at the speed limit on a signed city bike route (aka a street with signs that have a picture of a bike). Are the drivers ok? #cycling #urbanism #SafeStreetsForAll #BikeTooter

Ever noticed how water accumulates in bike lanes when it rains? What if we designed our roads differently so it doesn’t? Other cities do. It would benefit all who walk, bike and roll.

People are going too fast on this road. How can we prevent this? There’s already a speed limit but people are ignoring it. What can we do?

I know! Add another sign asking drivers to follow the directions on the first sign! Surely that will work! #urbanism #SafeStreetsForAll

The parish of Belém, in Lisbon, in a nutshell: cars, cars, cars. Elected officials waging a war on pedestrians, it seems.

Faced with an elaborate proposal to increase the number of parking spots available, while keeping sidewalks free, they've instead legalized parking on sidewalks.

The reason for the sudden move after months of not implementing this proposal? Drivers were suddenly being fined for parking on the sidewalk.

This week in Complete, Safe, Equitable Streets: a field trip to a cluster of schools located on a narrow, high speed two-lane road, and meeting with #ChapelHillNC planning staff to discuss ways we can make the area safer for kids to get to and from school.

The focus for the 2nd half of the course is on developing design and policy recommendations to support the town's commitment to #SafeStreetsForAll. It's a treat helping our students get this hands on experience.

The other night the kid and I e-biked home from a late theater rehearsal via a cross-town #greenway in #Carrboro and #ChapelHill. It was a clear enough night that she was picking out constellations as I pedaled.

We also saw 3 deer and an owl. More greenways, please!

This week in Complete, Safe, Equitable Streets, we're talking about:

-- the relationships between #CompleteStreets and #SafeSystems with the brilliant and lovely @sethlaj,

-- how one person's idea of the perfect street may be someone else's living hell, and

-- why it's seemingly so dang hard to make intersections like this one ⤵️ less hostile to everyone:

This is why I get so damn angry when I see a modern day #pickup #truck or #SUV anywhere other than a farm or a construction site. And even then, there are safer options.
