Jordan @walkablecityboy.bsky.social · 22/02/2026People walking and biking are very vulnerable obviously, they represent about 20-25% of all vehicle crash related deaths in the USA (higher percentage elsewhere where people walk more). People in cars are relatively well protected and die at lower rates in crashes 000
Jordan @walkablecityboy.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Unfortunately here in Canada we’re going backwards as well. In Montreal, our new mayor has even promised an “audit” of our new and wildly popular bike lanes to appease the conservative wealthy car drivers in the anglophone areas 070
Jordan @walkablecityboy.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Here in Canada we’re only about half as likely to be killed by a driver as in the USA, but we’re still behind most of Europe when it comes to preventing road deaths. We need to invest in public transit which is ~10x safer than driving and make cheap, common sense road safety upgrades now. 4438

Reposted by JordanDavid Zipper @davidzipper.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Sorry, but triumphant claims about autonomous vehicle safety are wildly exaggerated.

My deep dive, in Bloomberg 🧵bloomberg.comWe Still Don’t Know if Robotaxis Are Safer Than Human DriversAnd even if self-driving technology proves to be less dangerous, there are many better ways to improve traffic safety and prevent fatal crashes. 28760228
