Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them.

A truck is not a speech. A horn is not a voice. An occupation is not a protest. A blockade is not freedom, it blocks the liberty of all. A demand to overthrow a government is not a dialogue. The expression of hatred is not a difference of opinion. A lie is not the truth.

An engineer that designs a highway-style road through a neighborhood that all but guarantees that cars will speed isn't just bad at their job. They're grossly negligent—and if we want to save lives, we need to start confronting that hard truth head-on. bit.ly/2u6krRw
