Large private vehicles offer minimal safety benefits for their occupants while causing a tenfold increase in fatalities for occupants of other vehicles, and for pedestrians and cyclists. In less than 6 years, large vehicles & excessive speeds have undone four decades of progress.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
@_Murphy_Dan In 2008, after US election, Obama administration was lobbied by the automobile industry to approve oversized vehicles or SUV as part of business revival. @POTUS44 approved the legislation in the name of "improving" road safety.
Vision Zero Toronto retweeted
Remember, when it comes to the actual likelihood that a vehicle crash will occur at all, AND whether the consequences of a crash are serious, or even deadly, or not, speed is ALWAYS a factor. Including when the legal speed limits are currently too high. #SpeedKills #VisionZero
Vision Zero Toronto retweeted
It's time for leadership, not more delay on AvenueRd safety imprvments (Bloor-StClair). Why separate cyclist(May 28)+pedestrian(no date) debates on the finished plan, unless goal is to divide supporters, empower opponents? Must we wait for another death? @DianneSaxe @JoshMatlow
@DanMurp57913179 None of the above. You missed all effective countermeasures
Vision Zero Toronto retweeted
#StreetDesign tip: To use a bikeway, people need space to remain clear of other people and objects. And different devices—like cargo bikes—require different amounts of space. When possible, bikeways should be wide enough for all users to operate and be passed comfortably.
@sachasayan @jen_keesmaat Still the dumbest idea of Toronto's car history. Seriously! There is not a single space in Toronto without a car. Let's cover the whole city with the car and we live in space or an underground tunnel.

Imagine fighting so hard to make streets less safe for people. 🙄 We need the bike lanes, they made Yonge street a viable cycling route. @FFSafeStreets @VisionZeroTO @JoshMatlow @MikeColleTo @RZaichkowski
Seems rather disingenuous to be concerned about the environment when this note is printed on high gloss paper. Anyone else receive this? @cyclekay @CycleToronto @anabailaoTO @gordperks @m_layton @joe_cressy @kristynwong @PaulaFletcherTO @BradMBradford

That trope about suburban housing as "cheap" or "affordable" is just lazy at this point.
@PatrickBrownLLB And killing pedestrian only $285 fine. Even fine for throwing garbage on is $500.
@i_clark This is not city program Twitter account. I proposed vision zero in 2010 and they thought I was joking

Today - UN World Day of Remembrance for Victims of Road Trauma, we remember all of those killed & seriously injured on the roads of the world. We call for support for all of those affected & commit to act to prevent further needless suffering on our roads. youtu.be/IhKOAbz6l7Q
@Joyhenderson78 @PasternakTO That's my fear for own family members too. Car crash is more scary than cancer in Toronto. #TureVisionZero

@PasternakTO @VisionZeroTO I have three kids walking to two different schools in Scarborough. I am not afraid of them being abducted, I’m afraid of them getting run over. My oldest sons friend was struck last week at Brimley/Lawrence, while crossing at a lighted intersection. #scarbTO
@Penalosa_G @PasternakTO Mr. Councilor - We are committed to true #VisionZero. Do not tag this account of you believe in Zero Vision.
Vision Zero Toronto retweeted
I decided to completely re-draw and augment that great @NIOSH Hierarchy of Controls diagram. Those guys in Copenhagen did a version awhile back but I wanted one with plainer language, consistent with the way we talk about street safety.
Vision Zero Toronto retweeted
A new study estimates that a citywide plan in Barcelona to limit cars and capture nearly 70 percent of street space for bikes and pedestrians could save 667 lives per year. @mslaurabliss reports on the health benefits of creating "superblocks" in cities: trib.al/Nzko2ik
