Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Another reminder that 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 actually safer to NOT have them.

The premise of the first season was a fine dining chef pulled back into the chaotic world of the family sandwich shop, and the premise of every subsequent season has been "The Bear is a very good and important tv show"

Protected bike lanes have a near-magical ability to produce cyclists.

This new study of 28 US cities finds that census block groups w/protected bike lanes expanded bike commuting almost 2x faster than those w/standard bike lanes & >4x faster than those w/o new lanes.

one more SUV tidbit from @davidzipper.bsky.social. people ask me about this constantly, so i'm very happy that someone has done some research! www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

How SUVs Are Making Traffic Worse As larger, taller sport utility vehicles took over US roads, they also aggravated highway congestion, according to a new study. It’s yet another ill effect of “car bloat.”

this is wild: vehicle capacity of freeway lanes dropped 10 percent as SUVs took over the road -- not just bc they are bigger. they also take more time and space to slow down and obscure other drivers' sightlines.

I estimate how many pedestrians would be saved if front-end vehicle heights were capped at 125 cm (about the height of a new Honda CRV). I estimate 500 fewer pedestrians would die each year if taller front-ends could be lowered to 125 cm.

Your periodic reminder that adding seats to SCOTUS is rapidly becoming the only tenable & baseline "moderate" & "centrist" & "pro-democracy" position.

Harf harf harf there's no difference between the parties except Democratic legislatures have banned the death penalty in 11 states in the past 15 years, Republicans have banned it in 0.
