A black-and-white line drawing of a coffee cup on a saucer, accompanied by text that reads: 'prioritizing youth mobility is prioritizing adult relaxing. When kids can walk/roll safely and independently, adults can enjoy some peaceful time to themselves.' The image emphasizes the benefits of safe, independent mobility for children, allowing adults to relax. Credit: Rovelo Creative.
When your kids don't need you as their chauffeur everyone is better off.

They really shouldn't let those small cars drive in traffic. I worry I'm going to kill someone if I hit one! They should have to drive on the sidewalk, safely out of the way.

Call me conservative, but I say we bring back the “Death-O-Meter” that keeps a running tally of those injured by cars near major intersections

Graphic titled “Culture shift” contrasts two columns labeled “Normal” and “Radical.” Under “Normal”: Accepting road violence, accepting road fatalities, accepting pedestrian fatalities, accepting cyclist fatalities, accepting excessive speeds, accepting unsafe streets, accepting pollution, accepting gridlock, accepting the loss of youth mobility, accepting the loss of senior mobility. Under “Radical”: Wanting to prevent road violence, wanting to prevent road fatalities, wanting to prevent pedestrian fatalities, wanting to prevent cyclist fatalities, wanting slower speeds, wanting safe streets, wanting less pollution, wanting less gridlock, wanting youth mobility, wanting senior mobility. Text below reads: “It’s time to rethink what’s considered normal on our streets.” Logo: The Biking Lawyer LLP with a bicycle icon.

A person walks along the edge of a paved road in Antananarivo, Madagascar, pushing a wheelchair because there is no sidewalk. Cars dominate the street design, forcing pedestrians and people with mobility aids into unsafe conditions.
No sidewalk. Because 5 percent of the population owns a private car.

The percentage of kids who live one mile or less away from their school hasn’t drastically changed.
What’s changed is that we've built our communities around cars, making walking and biking feel inconvenient... or deadly

A satirical graphic by Rovēlo Creative showing exaggerated reactions from various people, including shouting, screaming, and facepalming, surrounding the text "Cyclist rolling through a stop sign." Below, in contrast, the statistic "1.35M annual worldwide road traffic deaths" is presented over a barren desert scene with a lone tumbleweed, highlighting the disparity in public outrage.

Photo of three cigarette packs superimposed over an image of gridlocked traffic, symbolizing car dependency. The cigarette packs are labeled 'Gas' (standard cigarettes), 'Hybrid' (Light cigarettes), and 'EV' (Ultra Light cigarettes), representing different types of vehicle energy sources. The phrase 'TASTE THE FREEDOM' is prominently displayed, suggesting a commentary on transportation choices and their impact. Design by ROVÉLO CREATIVE.

Historical newspaper clipping from Jan 26, 1025, featuring headlines and photos about a woman named Electra Lynne, who was reportedly the first person arrested in Los Angeles for jaywalking. On the left, the Illustrated Daily News includes the headline "Just a Small Town Girl" and describes her philosophical approach to jaywalking, quoting her preference for crossing streets mid-block due to safety concerns. On the right, the Philadelphia Inquirer features her photograph with the caption "Held as Jay Walker," noting the incident and the ordinance violation.The clipping highlights the cultural shift in urban traffic rules at the time.

On This Day 100 years ago: Electra Lynne was arrested for violating LA's newly enacted traffic ordinance that prioritized cars over people.

A steep, narrow stone-paved alleyway in Ambatobe, Antananarivo, Madagascar, bordered by weathered concrete walls and descending between residential buildings. Overhead wires crisscross the scene, and the alley features uneven steps with patches of greenery and water drainage. In the distance, the city's hilly landscape is visible, dotted with houses, trees, and a prominent church spire.
My newly-discovered scenic routes through my neighborhood remind me of how much of Antananarivo is pre-car, and still car-free.

A 'Wheel of Fortune'-style graphic with the category labeled as 'Vision Zero.' The puzzle board spells out 'PROTECTED B_KE LANE,' with the letter 'I' missing in 'BIKE.' Below, a caption reads: 'City: We’d like to solve the puzzle, is it “WEAR BRIGHT CLOTHING.”' The image humorously critiques the tendency of cities to focus on individual safety advice rather than implementing protective infrastructure like bike lanes.
