Every year in Metro Vancouver, car crashes kill 100 people. We can get to zero by demanding that governments design transportation systems to put safety first. visionzerovancouver.ca Metro Vancouver Joined September 2022-

Canada should copy the proven safety features @TfL requires in London for heavy goods vehicles. Road safety is a shared responsibility, it’s time for @Transport_gc to do their part.

Seen in London UK trucks seem to all be mandated to have protection from having peds or cyclists end up underneath.

Our thoughts are with those killed & injured at work. We're also thinking of the 300 British Columbians killed each year in traffic crashes, many of whom were commuting to work, or who work on the streets (transport, paramedics, and more). Let's make Vancouver safer for all.

This past Thursday saw 2 more crashes resulting in vehicles going onto sidewalks or into buildings. Sheer good fortune that no one outside the vehicles was injured. These events are becoming all too common. We need traffic calming & sidewalk bollards everywhere.

Thanks @UBCscarp for having our own @Jade_Buchanan on the Safer Streets Panel yesterday, and thank you to the other panelists, Angie Weddell from @CityofVancouver and Breanna Jackson from @associatedeng for the hope-inspiring conversation!
Critically massing to non-violently protest the state of cycling infrastructure in this city. Give us safe streets! #criticalmassvancouver
"Countries like Sweden do in-depth studies after every fatal collision, to examine every single factor involved (not just driver errors and decisions), and recommends concrete actions to make sure that they don’t happen again at that site. And it works." visionzerovancouver.ca/2024/04/18/a-c…
Sweden typically places multiple speed cameras in a series on a given road. This new paper finds that their installation reduces crash deaths by an average of 38.6%. doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.…
I am full of hope for the future 🤍 #criticalmass @VisionZeroYVR
A serious crash is a weekly occurrence here. Main/7th/Kingsway is just as bad. The problems are obvious. Such a busy commercial and pedestrian area, when will @CityofVancouver fix this?

The weather is looking up for today's Critical Mass ride. Please join us at the Art Gallery at 6pm, before we ride off at 6:30pm to pay respects to the individual killed in last week's tragic crash.

Current vehicle safety standards only consider those inside the car. But when you're driving, the vast majority of people you encounter are outside your car. So, we strongly endorse this petition to add vehicle safety testing for those outside vehicles. Please sign & share!

Always find it remarkable compared to Vancouver where car sharing is far more commonplace and good.
My @TorontoStar column this week: Toronto likes to share. The city’s only “free-floating” car-share service now has 32,000+ users. It’s a good thing, but don’t credit city hall. Their regulations have needlessly limited growth and privileged car owners. thestar.com/opinion/contri…

Good crowd for Critical Mass yesterday
sort of odd how we have bollards all over Gastown but can't seem to install them on arterial streets with high speed traffic right next to sidewalks
Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. Via @StreetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/29/pro…
@MilenaConstanda If I worked for @Vote4ABC I'd be reflecting that it's a needless own goal to alienate such a large group of citizens, who are pretty likely to vote in 2026.
my hot take of the day is we should not be detouring rapidbuses & tolleys just so a few cruise passengers can fetch a private car immediately in the downtown core. why does the port not queue on waterfront rd? and what measures are they taking to get tourists on transit?
#VancouverBC Big line up of cabs and taxis on East Hastings between Seymour and Homer. Looks like there might be a cruise ship docking with passengers need of a ride. Expect delays. Take Pender or Dunsmuir instead.
@YogaJas @VisionZeroYVR The Car-Free Days are proof of how amazing this part of the city could be, if we didn't favour car-traffic at the expense of every other part of the community.
