Pedestrian Safety

The cycling community is outraged by the death and demands action.

There are three things that the city could do within weeks that would make a demonstrable impact on pedestrian safety

You can have any bike lane you want, as long as it's unprotected center running, says SFMTA Director Jeffrey Tumlin

Walk Bike Berkeley has released a statement concerning what can only be described as a plot in city hall to destroy its long-fought-for protected bike lane project for Hopkins Street

Advocates fought for years and achieved the impossible in Oakland. They should be proud to see concrete going in and the project nearing completion, because they stuck to their principles and demanded real and safe protected infrastructure.

The swelling size of the average car on the road is threatening the environmental potential of EVs more than proponents may realize, a prominent watchdog group warns.

Washington D.C. has failed to bring down road fatalities because its Vision Zero program is hampered by limited infrastructure improvements, low funding and inconsistent oversight, part one of a new report reveals.

Only 13 percent of people supported abandoning the Dutch-style plan in favor of center-running in last year's SFMTA outreach. Decades of Dutch and Danish planning experience shows center-running doesn't work. But the city forges ahead despite public opinion and international best practices. Join a growing chorus and tell the city to stop gaslighting cyclists and build for safety, not parking.

Advocates give up the fight for Dutch-style protected bike lanes on Valencia. They're making a huge mistake.
