City of Vienna has created new traffic calming concept in some neighborhoods aiming to reduce and eliminate the transiting car traffic. Inspired by Barcelona's Superblock,but in Vienna it is #Supergrätzl. They use so called the transport filters,which are the physical barriers to make obstacle for cars. #mobility #trafficcalming #vienna #superblock

Just thinking about how much it must cost a community to install and operate #traffic citation cameras, and the real social and economic costs of that kind of #surveillance, #policing, and #punishment, when they could have just installed static #TrafficCalming #infrastructure that harms no one and require very little ongoing financial inputs.

The #BostonSafetySurge was an innovative program from @wutrain.bsky.social & @jfh01.bsky.social to end the "Hunger Games" style contest between neighborhoods for speed humps and fast track this best practice for #TrafficCalming
Love to see Cambridge following suit! @mass.streetsblog.org

Safety boost for Llanelli’s ‘danger road’ after series of collisions
Station Road and New Dock Road, which run through densely populated residential areas between the town centre and the coast, have long been highlighted as accident hotspots.
Carmarthenshire County Council’s road safety team has confirmed that a programme of improvements will be rolled out during the current financial year. The measures include the installation of raised tables at key junctions and side road crossings, designed to slow vehicles and improve pedestrian safety.
Road safety engineer Martin Owen said the interventions aim to reduce vehicle speeds in areas of high risk, particularly near crossing points used by children and other vulnerable road users.
“By reducing speeds, these measures will enhance driver awareness and reaction times, while also encouraging active travel by creating a safer environment for walking and cycling,” he explained.
Local councillor Andre McPherson welcomed the move, saying:
“Sadly this action has come too late to prevent a string of casualties over recent years, some of which have been fatal. But hearing that improvements are now coming is very welcome, and we hope the safety programme will save lives in the future.”
The safety programme follows a number of serious incidents in recent years. In 2023, a fatal collision on Station Road prompted renewed calls for urgent improvements see our previous coverage here.
The works come as Llanelli prepares for wider transport investment, including proposals for a new multi‑modal transport hub at the town’s railway station read more here.

Rigorous new research published by Transport for London shows the number of people killed or seriously injured on London borough roads reduced by 34% following the implementation of 20mph #speedlimits, with the number of children killed falling by 75% (from four to one). That means fewer grieving families and fewer people’s lives made a misery. (1/3)
@afewbugs As a Londoner, I am very grateful we have Sadiq Khan as mayor. He is a total hero. I don't agree at all with some of his policies (especially Silvertown tunnel), but he is so clearly doing his best for Londoners, at quite a cost to himself. Thank goodness our citizens have the sense to keep voting for him ...

Fatal collision in Llanelli sparks calls for safety measures on Station Road
A male pedestrian was fatally injured after being struck by a motorcycle near the Home Bargains store on Station Road, Llanelli, at approximately 9.55pm on Friday 1 August.
Emergency services, including Ambulance and Air Ambulance teams, attended the scene and provided first aid, but the man sadly died at the scene.
Dyfed Powys Police confirmed that a 21-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of Causing Death by Dangerous Driving and other related offences. He remains in custody. Officers are not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident.
The road was closed overnight and reopened on Saturday 2 August. The victim’s family has been informed and is receiving support from specialist officers.
Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dash cam or Ring Doorbell footage to come forward.
Petition launched to demand safety upgrades on Station Road
In response to the fatal collision, a new petition has been launched urging Carmarthenshire Council to install traffic calming measures on Station Road.
The petition, titled “Install Safety Measures on Station Road, Llanelli”, highlights the dangers posed by speeding vehicles in a busy pedestrian area lined with shops, takeaways, and hairdressers.
“Too many people are ending up losing their lives or ending up seriously injured due to motorists being able to drive at dangerously high speeds,” the petition states.
Campaigners are calling for the installation of speed bumps, speed cameras, and frequent pedestrian crossings to reduce accidents and protect residents.
Citing national data, the petition notes that such measures can reduce accidents by up to 50%. It urges local authorities to act swiftly to prevent further tragedies.
The petition was created on 2 August and is gathering signatures from residents and visitors concerned about road safety in Llanelli.
