The more we study the Netherlands’ systematic approach to road safety, the more we appreciate its near-perfect application of the Hierarchy of Controls. “Low car” streets are the most effective way of minimizing exposure to risk. Helmets are the least. Diagram by @QAGreenways. – at Delft, Nederland

When the problem is drivers killing cyclists, that’s “cars are a danger” not “bikes aren’t safe”.
The “options for everyone” already exists, it’s called: use the regular lanes used by everyone. If it’s not safe, stop biking because biking isn’t safe.

Gonna have to pick 2: speed reduction / speed enforcement. ^kj
If you could pursue only ONE singular element or policy (duplicated in many locations, if necessary) to achieve Vision Zero, what would it be?
