New project aims to make it safer for kids to walk to school West Midlands Active Travel Commissioner Beccy Marston and Road Safety Commissioner Mat MacDonald will deliver 'Kids Streets' with pilots in Birmingham and potentially Coventry in the coming months

This is a good read about the idea of "Kids Streets" in #Birmingham & #Coventry. It's one thing to make the journey to school safer, but if we want our children to be able to travel independently and safely to sports clubs, friends' houses & more, we need to think bigger. #SchoolStreets #RoadDanger

A road with a wide pavement. There is a small car park on the right, with an SUV poking very far out onto the pavement. The text says "Carspreading. King of the...pavement?".

A road with a wide pavement. There is a small car park on the right, with an SUV poking very far out onto the pavement. The text says "Carspreading. King of the...pavement?".

Today's BBC #Carspreading article takes a good look at the issue of the rise of the SUV, with reasons and solutions, but doesn't mention #RoadDanger at all. Children are 82% more likely to suffer fatal injuries in an SUV collision than one involving a car. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Is the Land Rover Defender the biggest star of Celebrity Traitors? Is the Land Rover Defender the Celebrity Traitors' biggest star? With almost 12million people tuning in, search results have surged 35% for JLR's best selling 110.

Why was #CelebrityTraitors one big SUV ad?!

SUVs like the Defender are three times more likely to kill a child under 10 in the event of a crash, compared to a small car.

This form of advertising needs challenging. #AirPollution #RoadDanger

Car headlights to be reviewed after drivers complain of being 'blinded' at night Concern over the glare from brighter headlamps is prompting the government to review vehicle design.

Unfortunate focus on car drivers as if no one else is involved! @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social
At least the College of Optometrists mentions cyclists!
People walking/wheeling/scooting also don't want to face blinding lights in their streets.

Hull divided over 'share the road' campaign The council is hoping the message will help make the city more cycle-friendly.

Irresponsible ‘both sides’ reporting on vulnerable road users from #BBCLookNorth here, in a week when two unprovoked attacks on fe mail cyclists have been reported.

Why is there never sensational reporting on the main cause of #RoadDanger, unsafe and uninsured drivers?

Road safety plan cuts number of lanes on roads and bans SUV advertising Radical plans to reduce the number of lanes on main roads, area-wide loading restrictions and a ban on SUV adverts have been published to improve road safety.

These plans are only radical - as described by the @_FleetNews journalist - if you subscribe to a #motonormativity view.

If you see vehicles in terms of #roaddanger, #carbonemissions and #pollution, then the proposals are sensible and essential:

A young life taken far too soon and quite deliberately by a suv driver with anger management issues - and *with his own child in the vehicle*.

When next in Paris, seek out the cycle route in memory of Paul Varry and continue to campaign to stop #roaddanger from our obsession with cars

Good work by @transportaction.bsky.social! Let's see a switch from funding grandiose road schemes to action to reducing #RoadDanger instead.

More 20mph roads on way for London after injuries and collisions are cut by a third Research commissioned by TfL on the safety benefits of 20mph has given the green light for more speed cuts

Good to see this - slower speeds are a no-brainer if you want to protect people, reduce noise and pollution and make areas more welcoming. #RoadDanger #VisionZero

'Supersize SUVs much more likely to cause fatal injury to cyclists and pedestrians' Sports utility vehicles account for more than half of new cars bought in UK

This #Carspreading trend needs to reverse.

Children are 82 per cent more likely to suffer fatal injuries in a SUV collision than one involving a car. In children under 10, the risk of death was 130 per cent higher. 😓

Original post on masto.bike

I commented somewhere recently that it's unfair to run a town without useful public transport because it encourages people to drive when they shouldn't and harm themselves and others.

Now we see that NHS staff fatigue combines with a lack of public transport to kill them, and others, on the […]

"Social/behavioural interventions alone had little impact."
Remember that when councils use "encouragement" for #ActiveTravel instead of dealing with #RoadDanger.
