🚦 🚲 🚸 Focused on Safer Roads for Everyone 🚸 🚲 🚦 In 2022, over 46,000 people lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes in the United States, including more than 5,000 pedestrians, nearly 1,000 bicyclists, and almost 900 work zone fatalities. As someone passionate about traffic safety, I believe we can make a difference by focusing on innovative solutions that improve pedestrian and bike lane safety, protect workers, and enhance motorist safety. It's about starting conversations and exploring new ideas with like-minded individuals to create / reimagine the next generation of life-saving devices. "What’s a life worth? Worth saving!" By prioritizing safety, we can work together to create a safer future for everyone! #BikeSafety #CityCycling #BikeFriendly #BikeLanes #Cityplanning #GreenCommute #visionzero #roadsafety #NWZAW #Orange4Safety #WorkZoneSafety #DriveMindfully #TZD

Preventing car crashes with vulnerable road users is a complicated issue. We all know that most infrastructure in the United States is catered to cars. When it isn't, sometimes we see one of my biggest pet peeves, cars turning on a red arrow when the bike signal is green. It will be interesting to see how widely this new technology is implemented and if it has an effect on improving safety for all road users. https://lnkd.in/gu-vU7HT

Earlier this year, T&E found that over half of new vehicles are too wide for many on-street parking spaces in European cities. Car width continues to grow by 1 cm every two years, obstructing traffic but also bringing a higher risk of fatalities in collisions with pedestrians and cyclists. In February, residents of Paris took action by voting to triple parking fees for large SUVs. Will other European cities be inspired to re-evaluate their relationship with bigger and bigger cars on the road? Did you miss our report in January?

In the hustle of busy intersections, pedestrian safety is paramount! Follow these tips for a secure journey as a pedestrian: 1️⃣ Use Crosswalks: Always cross at designated crosswalks. It's the safest spot, equipped with signals. 2️⃣ Wait for Signals: Don't rush. Wait for the pedestrian signal before crossing. Green means go! 3️⃣ Stay Visible: Make eye contact with drivers and wear bright colors, especially in low-light conditions. 4️⃣ Avoid Distractions: Put down the phone and focus. Distractions can lead to accidents. 5️⃣ Watch for Turning Vehicles: Be cautious when turning cars, even if you have the right of way. 6️⃣ Stay Alert: Stay aware of your surroundings. Watch out for bikes, scooters, and other pedestrians. 7️⃣ Walk Defensively: Assume not all drivers see you. Be ready to step back if needed. Remember, safety is a shared responsibility! Whether you're walking, biking, or driving, let's keep our intersections safe for everyone. Share this with your loved ones, and always keep safe! 🧡 #roadwaysafety #trafficsafety #pedestrians #pedestrianaccident #safetytips

As summer approaches, outdoor enthusiasts are gearing up to use their recreational vehicles. The Alberta RCMP reports 1,624 thefts of 'other' motor vehicles in 2023, with 147 in June alone. To help keep your vehicles secure, consider these tips: Do not leave keys in or near the OHV. Store OHVs in a locked garage or shed. Block OHVs with other vehicles. Ensure security cameras are active. Keep track of serial numbers and identifying photos. Use outdoor property lights or motion sensors. Make it harder for thieves and enjoy your adventures with peace of mind. For expert service and advice, visit Precision Motor Worx. Let's make this summer safe and fun! #AutomotiveSpecialist #OHVSafety #PrecisionMotorWorx #Summer2024

It's not just Paris that has this problem! 🚙 🚙 🚙 Last year in the UK, SUV sales increased by more than one fifth. In a single year! 2023 saw SUV break the 1M mark, up 23% from 2022. But sales have been increasing steadily for years. Back in 2021 sales were 50% of all new vehicle registrations; last year that figure rose to 60%. But why does this matter for carbon budgets? Well the majority of SUVs being sold that are wholly or partly powered by fossil fuels make up a whopping 86% of all sales. That means we’re embedding a culture of large, polluting vehicles, a culture that will become self-sustaining. This could imperil carbon budgets because those highly-polluting cars will be staying on our roads for 15 years. SUVs are becoming the dominant presence on our roads. Battery electric SUV sales are up in every size category, even the biggest of SUVs. That’s staggering. Not only for road safety but for smart deployment of critical battery materials and road wear. We need to take action on SUVs before large, luxury vehicles become the norm. That means car companies prioritising smaller, more affordable electric cars, weight-based taxes on the purchase of the heaviest new cars, and a strict vehicle width limit.

Connected vehicles for future is the communication or talk between two vehicles which could include recognising location of CAR-A from CAR-B so that CAR-B can drive to that location, recognising routes with traffic congestion and playing audio from broadcast source to all vehicles before arriving the location. It also helps in identifying potholes in a road and there could be an option to communicate with services which repairs the pothole. Similarly if road is blocked with something like tree then vehicle could show pop up to call pick up team with number. Similarly if vehicle met with an accident vehicle could show an option to call emergency services #connectedcars #connectedvehicles
