Instead, BCI invests huge $$ in oil + gas + coal, and trumpets “engagement“ with firms - as if a shareholder vote will somehow change Exxon’s business model. See how BCI’s ESG policy👇 doesn’t mention divestment or exclusion. A lot of words, not much concrete climate action and no urgency. 5/x

"Over the past 3 years, adding speed enforcement at 35 locations led to a 52% decrease in drivers exceeding the speed limit by more than 25 km/h [...] Red-light infractions decreased by 13% and the number of repeat red-light offenders declined 29%." Automated cameras save lives!

These Metro Vancouver intersections caught the most speeders, red-light violators last year
Programs that reduced speeding and running red lights led to a roughly 40 per cent reduction in fatalities, according to research.

The main reason 10th Ave is having so many problems during the Broadway detour is that this is what it looks like at the best of times. It's just a normal car road with no actual protected bike space and the bare minimum of traffic calming, most of which takes the form of ignorable signs.
10th Ave east of Main St, picture taken last fall. Two lanes of parking and a car driving take up the entire road.

A 2015 City of Vancouver study similarly found that 13% of cyclist-driver collisions happen during right-turn movements. The provincial government also previously issued some literature supporting the prohibition as an effective intervention. dailyhive.com/vancouver/va... #Vanpoli
The provincial government also previously issued some literature supporting the prohibition as an effective intervention.

“Where Right Turn On Red (RTOR) is permitted, drivers must look for pedestrians crossing from the left and right, for cyclists approaching from the rear, while simultaneously trying to find a gap in the vehicle and cyclist stream crossing the intersection from the left. This is a highly complex scenario requiring high driver workload and greater risk of driver error,” reads the provincial government’s recommended safe roadway design guide in March 2018.

“With a site-specific prohibition on RTOR, drivers can only proceed to turn right on green. By separating road users from one another through time, this strongly reduces the likelihood of conflict between road users.”
