Too many people have been killed on Seattle’s streets in recent weeks. These tragedies are preventable. Tell Seattle leaders to improve intersection safety, require side guards on large trucks, and prioritize Vision Zero. Take Action: actionnetwork.org/letters/plea...
Side-by-side diagram comparing an intersection before and after daylighting. The “Before Daylighting” illustration shows cars parked close to a crosswalk, blocking a driver’s view of people crossing and reducing visibility. The “After Daylighting” illustration removes parking spaces near the corner and replaces them with a striped no-parking zone, creating a clear line of sight between drivers, pedestrians, and people biking. The diagrams highlight how daylighting improves visibility and safety at intersectionsillustrating a bicycle safety side guard. A person riding a bicycle is shown alongside the truck, with a red panel labeled “Side Guard” covering the space between the front and rear wheels to help prevent cyclists from being pulled underneath the vehicle. The diagram notes a maximum 13.8-inch ground clearance beneath the side guard and indicates the truck bed height is typically 50 inches.
