"...a street that feels a little dangerous to speed on is a safer street. When you drive in an area with narrow lanes, parked cars close by, and people walking and riding bikes nearby, you naturally slow down and pay attention without being told to."

Your car is lying to you
People behave differently based on how dangerous their environment feels, not how dangerous it actually is.

Are the countries claiming that they have a working deal with Trump ready to admit yet that there’s no such thing? No country can have a deal with Trump, because Trump is incapable of sticking to any deal. Suggesting otherwise is make-believe.

The thing about speed cameras is that those of us advocating for them are *also* pushing for redesigning streets, but car brained politicians and NIMBYs fight these tooth and nail, so enforcement is one of our tools to slow down drivers. I'd love to not need speed cameras!
I don't hate the intentions behind the cameras, but making streets narrow with bike lanes and lowering speed limits by 10 mph citywide would probably do more. even if it's not used for surveillance initially, there's no saying the program wouldn't be changed for that purpose down the line

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

No one tells you that street safety activism is largely saying “it’s neat when kids are safer” and being met with an entire leadership class telling you “yeah but have you considered the thorny issues like ‘where will I park my car’ and ‘what if I want to drive fast’ and ‘fuck off loser’”.

Watching everyone at last turn on Infantino it’s reassuring to see there is a level of in-your-face institution-destroying corruption that will eventually get a person thrown out of leading a sport, and we can therefore hope that one day that standard might apply to people leading a country.
