NEW STUDY: Bicycle lanes calm traffic, make streets safer for everyone. Presence of a separated bike lane decreases average maximum car/truck speeds by 28%, speed of cars making right turns by 21% ...
"Bike lanes" and "bike-friendly policies" can slow dangerous car traffic, give walkers more space to move, and save lives across all modes by getting would-be drivers into the saddle instead. Is it time for a rebrand? usa.streetsblog.org/2024/10/01/sho…
“Today, more parents in the United States drive kids to school than ever, making up more than 10 percent of rush-hour traffic. The result is mayhem that draws ire from many groups.“ We can help more families shift trips from cars to bikes. What we need is political leadership.
•Wethersfield recently applied for Bicycle Friendly Community status from the League of American Bicyclists! If you’ve ever biked here, please take a minute to complete this survey and share your input: surveymonkey.com/r/BFC_2024
Researchers say converting traditional bike lanes to separated lanes can reduce vehicle bicycle crashes up to 53%. Creating buffer space with delineators, curbs, or vegetation enhances safety for all. See how it’s making a difference in Virginia: bit.ly/49xegYu #FHWA_EDC

Hoboken, N.J. hasn't had a single traffic death for seven years. At the recent @NACTO conference, Mayor @RaviBhalla reflected on how they did it; read his remarks here. usa.streetsblog.org/2024/05/16/we-…
