The rumors are true! We're the first government agency to release a makeup line. Our 'Eyes On The Road' eyeshadow palette will raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving. Look where you're going, and look good doing it.
An arm with eyeshadow color swatches labelled Stop, Go, Yield, I'm Walkin' Here, Asphalt, Bike Lane and Bus Lane. Text on image reads: Eyes On The Road, an eyeshadow palette from NYT DOT. Looking where you're going has never looked so good, 5 stars, Sephora

Look at these #daylighting/curb extensions on this intersection! Every time I walk or #bikenyc thru here I feel like I could just lay down in the roadway for minutes if I wanted to! 😀 @OpenPlans Good job here by @NYC_DOT to slow drivers and visually warn drivers.

There's no tradeoff between safe streets and streets where people feel happy to be.

Achieving zero traffic deaths is possible for North American cities. So how did Jersey City do it?

Crosswalks don’t do much for pedestrians if they do nothing for drivers.

Fifth Avenue in @NYC_DOT has some good #Daylighting. Watch how using these sort of techniques we can make drivers stop and look and slow their turns. #UniversalDaylighting now! @OpenPlans @StreetsblogNYC @votejgr @TransAlt @bikenewyork @BicyclesOnly @adamlaw50 @saraklind

Before they became dominated by cars, American streets were shared by people walking, biking, taking transit, *and* driving. Decades of car-centric planning has perpetuated infrastructure debt, created deadly streets, and turned prosperous places into unproductive parking lots.

Call it a quick build, tactical urbanism, pilot project, whatever. We know how to make streets safer, and we know that means slowing down motor vehicles.

Surveys suggest many Americans lack access to basic infrastructure for bicycling & walking. And while this isn't the only piece of the puzzle for boosting activity levels, a community's built environment is a significant barrier for many #ActivePeople. bit.ly/3FO3GiF
Graphic titled "Proximity to bike/walk facilities." An outline of a street sign says "Population living within 1/4 mile of a bike path is 46%," "...living wihtin 1/4 mile of a bike lane is 39%." A grey sidewalk below the sign says "15% of population has sidewalks on only some streets." Next to an icon of a person walking, text says "32% of population has no sidewalks in their neighborhood."

Parents and children should never have to walk to school without the bare minimum of a sidewalk to keep them safe. Imagine a world where we build transportation infrastructure for everyone, rather than only prioritizing those who drive. That's the world we're fighting for.
