Moreover, a total of 7,314 pedestrians were killed in 2023 and 68,000 were injured in 2023.
We need a stronger, all-of-the-above safety strategy: infrastructure interventions, #VRU infrastructure, reliable mass transit, and safer driving for those who ride in cars.

Met toeters en bellen hebben de helden van #post #brandweer #oudewater alvast afscheid van mij genomen. Er was een geweldige brandweer-oefening geregeld waaraan ik mocht deelnemen. Brandje blussen en auto open knippen. Veel respect voor deze hulpverleners. Ik ga ze missen. #vru

"[The state] may recognize the need to offer social protection to reduce vulnerability, but it is normally a party to the economic and social processes that lead people to be unable to protect themselves in the first place."
Terry Cannon, 1994, Vulnerability analysis and 'natural' disasters

Gezellig en Informatief! Met collega’s #vru #veiligheidsregio #utrecht in de studio voor live #webinar over toekomstscenario’s en weerbaarheid & veerkracht. Onze doelgroep: medewerkers VRU, ACB-ers en communicatie-adviseurs gemeenten #bijpraten #bewustwording en #actie
Bij de #VeiligheidsRegioUtrecht #VRU is in de Bestuurlijke AdviesCommissie Risicobeheersing en Crisisbeheersing & GHOR een goed gesprek over Weerbaarheid en Veerkracht. Over diverse scenario's, waarbij o.a. #stroomuitval voorstelbaar is, met (grote/langdurige) effecten.
Daarna Algemeen Bestuur VRU.
Battle of the canned animations! 😜

A great article in today's Observer and a life-changing project I am so proud to play a tiny part in.

Inspirerende #netwerkbijeenkomst Nationale Veiligheid en #Weerbaarheid. Mooie gesprekken en discussies met #veiligheidsexperts en vitale #partners uit hele land in Amsterdam over de #weerbaresamenleving #ambassadeur #veiligheidsregio #utrecht #vru
“It’s made me realise carrying a weapon is a decision that can change your life, and others’, in a second, which is insane when you think about it.”

Strategisch Veiligheidsoverleg vandaag met (vitale) partners uit de regio Utrecht. Uiteraard in kader #weerbaresamenleving #ambassadeur #veiligheidsregio #VRU Hoe kunnen we samen wat doen en wie heeft wat nodig?
Vandaag mooi interview in de krant met de ambtelijke collega’s #vru #veiligheidsregio #utrecht en aandacht voor het #noodpakket in de lokale krant #ijsselbode van #Oudewater Ben jij voorbereid op een noodsituatie? Kijk op www.denkvooruit.nl #belangrijk #crises #calamiteiten
#Veiligheid is belangrijk voor de Nieuwegeinse #VVD. Daarom ben ik aanwezig bij het was raadsplatform Veiligheidregio Utrecht. Als woordvoerder veiligheid wil ik actief betrokken zijn bij alle toekomstscenario’s die van belang zijn voor onze stad en regio. #veiligheid #nieuwegein #politie #vru
Does it mean we can only start to think about #bikeped deaths when "celebs" are killed?
#VRU #KSIs continue to rise in #NewJersey while car occupants are ever safer...
My home town can spend money for cams to spot people riding bikes in parks, but not for #speed- or #redlight-cams on the roads
As a safety advocate it’s a step in the right direction but more measures are needed. Europe is way ahead of the US, heck so many countries are way ahead of us in this regard. It’s estimated that the rules NHTSA are proposing would ONLY SAVE 67 lives a year. #safety #NHTSA #VRU
Addendum: I have spent decades studying the experiences of people trying to navigate their environments on the outside of a car. My 'hot take' on the #VRU issue is neither hot nor a take; it's the results of a very long time thinking, studying, analyzing, teaching, and writing about this.
The term #VRU implies that being in danger (e.g., in danger of being hit by someone driving a car on a poorly designed street) is a condition the so-called vulnerable user opted in to.
#CarBrain #RoadSafety #NoMoreVRU (4/?)
#VRU is a transportation catchall for "humans not safely ensconsed in a motor vehicle." It's lazy, inaccurate, offensive, and counterproductive.
Vulnerability is not an intrinsic characteristic of anyone. It's a condition imposed on people by their environments...
#CarBrain (2/?)
Since it's a holiday weekend and the start of a new school year in the US, it's a good time to warn my fellow #transportation professionals, researchers, and decision-makers about the unfortunate term, "Vulnerable Road Users," or #VRU. ..... (thread)
Het zou mooi zijn als we met geestelijke verzorging bij de brandweer hier een verschil kunnen maken #duurzaaminzetbaar #pkn #vru
In 2024, I resolve to push back every single time someone uses the term #VRU, or #VulnerableRoadUser.
It's a transportation catchall for "humans not safely ensconsed inside a motor vehicle," and it's lazy, inaccurate, offensive, and counterproductive.

We are especially pleased that @DFKI and @vtisweden will be at the inauguration of our #VRU simulator, offering new insights into simulative research for us as well.
How can pedestrians, cyclists and motorists safely meet in traffic? In a #simulation, of course. This allows us to research new ways of communication and a safer #traffic system. More about this at the inauguration of our #VRU simulator. Register now: https://t.co/f8GL1ZuJah
