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."

Inside the London reception class where kids are taught to talk to help them stay out of gangs A new initiative aims to improve communication, as as pupils lacking speech and language skills more likely to be excluded and caught up in violence

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

Gaudreau deaths raise questions about road safety for cyclists | Video | NJ Spotlight News Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau were struck and killed by an alleged drunk driver

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

The US finally takes aim at truck bloat The government is taking aim at big SUVs and trucks.

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.

#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...

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)

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.

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
