New York City's school zone speed cameras have worked remarkably well: "Speeding tickets [fell] by an average of 18.4%, 13.3%, and 0.6% in the 2nd-, 3rd- and 4th-month post-installation." Authors also found a 14% drop in crashes after speed cameras were installed. doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

you know, it was annoying to have to spend a chunk of my morning at the DMV to get a REAL ID but shoutout to the people at my local location, who are clear, very efficient and quite polite (if necessarily a bit stern)

New episode! Tesla dealerships, many of them located in the worst kind of automotive sprawl, have emerged as crucial nodes in a decentralized network of resistance to the current administration. We talked to organizers and protesters in the #TeslaTakedown movement. thewaroncars.org/2025/04/08/e...

I love this bike thread! also note that many drivers are dicks! we had to invent a whole phrase “road rage” about it, and they’re the 3rd largest cause of preventable injury death!

Is there any #motonormativity research on people's perception of almost getting hit by a bicyclist or scooter user, vs almost getting hit by a driver?

Oooooh, I missed this, Rivian is spinning off a "micromobility" company to make electric scooters, bikes, etc. Intriguing!

Sure, but we absolutely should ban vehicles on the roads due to the astonishing number of people that die from vehicles crashes.

In response to Conner Dougherty's NYT article, it's helpful to revisit a piece I wrote. In the USA, the poorer you are, the greater percentage of your income you spend on transportation. In the EU, it's the opposite. Why? USA has car-dependent sprawl, EU has good transit. itdp.org/2024/01/24/h...

I guess what I'm saying is we should fund public transit more.

Not a single time in this article glorifying the need for sprawl to address the US's affordable housing crisis is there a mention of the vast transportation costs of sprawling living patterns. Nor is there mention of the fact that sprawl is directly linked to disinvestment in urban cores.
