Peter Castillo+FollowSidewalks Beat Fancy Road Designs?Turns out, adding simple stuff like sidewalks, crosswalks, and better lighting does way more to prevent crashes than those complicated road design tweaks engineers love. A new study found that these easy-to-update features have a bigger impact on safety than things like lane width or road curves. Basically, if you want safer streets, focus on what helps people walk and see—not just how the road is shaped! #RoadSafety #UrbanDesign #PedestrianSafety #TrafficSafety #CityPlanning #Transportation00Share
Amber Mcguire+FollowSUVs: The Hidden Danger on Our StreetsJust found out SUVs aren’t just gas guzzlers—they’re way more dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists, especially kids. A new study says getting hit by an SUV makes you 44% more likely to die (and for kids, it’s 82%!). It’s all because they’re taller and heavier, so impacts are way worse. If we swapped SUVs for regular cars, we could save a ton of lives. Kinda wild, right? Makes you rethink those big cars everyone’s driving lately. #RoadSafety #SUVs #UrbanLiving #PedestrianSafety #Cycling #CityLife #Transportation166Share
IdiotsinCars+FollowSettling a friendly road rules debate at home!My husband and I are in the middle of a little driving debate. Maybe you all can help settle it! When you're walking across a marked crosswalk that connects a local street to a freeway entrance, who actually has the right of way — the pedestrian or the driver trying to get onto the freeway? 🚶♀️🚗 From what I understand, pedestrians usually have the right of way at marked crosswalks, even near freeway on-ramps. But with drivers eager to merge onto the freeway, it can definitely feel like you're invisible out there. Thanks in advance for clearing this up — I want to win this one! 😄 Have you ever had a weird right-of-way moment that left you second-guessing yourself? #RightOfWay #DrivingDebates #RoadRules #PedestrianSafety #TrafficQuestions101Share
