In 2025, the Canadian Automobile Association released a report on near misses across Canada. Serious near misses involving pedestrians & cyclists happen every day at busy intersections - 1 in 770 people walking, 1 in every 500 people cycling exposed to serious injury or death buff.ly/aVxpnjw 1/2

Vancouver deserves a permanent pedestrian street!

This sounds bad.

Fixing the 47 times fatal flaw in the city's road safety strategy.

"Halifax’s systems-level approach to road safety is failing because it deliberately ignores the only systemic risk in our transportation system: the inherent danger of driving". We care @landofsticks.bsky.social! #RoadSafety #VisionZero

The Dutch mobility system isn't just built around cycling. It's built around bike-train intermodality: cycling solves the train's convenience problem and the train solves cycling's range problem. Together, they offer an attractive alternative to driving on a mass scale. WATCH: youtu.be/jq93DgLvmFc

It’s not just about banning cars on “pedestrian streets” — it’s about filling the space usually surrendered to cars with magnetic people-places FULL of things that attract people & make them want to stay. Vancouver hasn’t been great at such transformations. The World Cup NEEDS to be a turning point.

Missed the Livestream with Clarence with @streetfilms.bsky.social today? No worries, I’ve got you covered with an edited and enhanced version of our conversation here: youtu.be/RG-akl--kgw

212 mammal carcasses on 7 roads in 15 weeks. And yeah, that graveyard would be the creepiest thing to come upon in the woods unexpectedly.

TIL via Reddit that HRM has a “roadkill dumping ground”

troublemakers.

On that note, no right on red.

Intersection redesign. It's where most crashes happen.

Yes, they did. Speed limits have come down in Saanich, Victoria, Esquimalt and View Royal, with discussions happening elsewhere

Saanich is a bit of a weird one, since it's semi-rural. Yes they did end up changing quite a few to 40 km/h. IMO they kind of messed up the consultation in a way that did not help build support, which has been key in the UK/EU for 20mph rollouts. www.letstalkcentralsaanich.ca/SpeedLimits

One of the Primary Action’s listed is “Review Speed Limits to Support Reduced Speeds”, do you know if that has resulted in lowering any speed limits on arterials or collectors with high crash rates? This seems to be a sticking point for a lot of Canadian municipalities

Also worth checking out this one, it's pretty great: www.saanich.ca/EN/main/comm...

“Saving lives is not ideology. Saving lives is common sense.” Thanks @isabellazavarise.bsky.social and @ctvnewsvancouver.bsky.social for the great reporting! www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Self proclaimed "transit advocate" councilor @sarahkirbyyung.bsky.social questioning staff on why Vancouver needs bus lanes if they only save each commuter a few minutes per trip... Yikes 😬 youtu.be/WYyydasP9oE?...

Self-proclaimed "public safety champion" @sarahkirbyyung.bsky.social questions why we need to reduce speeds on arterials where 93% of fatalities occur, if we've already reduced speeds on a few residential streets and traffic fatalities still happened. youtu.be/ItxcWjCOJY8

Pedestrian streets bring so much life and joy to a city! Especially when done well, like Granville right now.

For the second time in a row the @hfxgov.bsky.social Transportation Standing Committee meeting, scheduled for June 18, is cancelled. What would you like the Committee to be doing around #RoadSafety when they have a "light agenda"? Share your ideas below #VisionZero

"I've been up until the last 2 years a 100km plus a week cyclist. Now I don't ride at all" We get a lot of emails like this from local Vancouverites. When people wonder why our cycling mode share is stuck in the single digits - it's not the rain, it's not the hills, this is why.

We're hearing similar stories from our incident report form launched in April. Streets should be safe for everyone! #RoadSafety #VisionZero

Our incident report stickers are out in the field & we are getting information from these locations. Keep reporting, it's quick & easy. We're building up a picture of persistent dangers to people walking, wheeling & rolling that need to be acted upon #RoadSafety #VisionZero

First grocery shopping with my bike a success! I got some panniers from Decathlon last week and put them to good use today. Only awkward part was that the bike rack is right where all the employees take smoke breaks so I had an audience while trying to fuss with my locks 😂 Yay bikes! #bikeHFX

A veloton of people cycling on my ride home tonight! #BikeHFX #BikesBuildCommunity

Did you know you can get from the Woodside Ferry terminal to the Salt Marsh Trail with very little exposure to traffic? Cycling Guide showed me the way and then helped me navigate the circuitous route. On the return trip we used the Shearwater Flyer trail and sidewalks along (un)Pleasant St #bikehfx

Got 5 minutes to hear about family-focused cycling in #BikeHfx. the #KidicalMassHfx June newsletter just dropped here, and in your inbox (if you already subscribe): kidical-mass-newsletter.beehiiv.com/p/kidical-ma...

Back to their old tricks, blocking municipal bike parking in a very neatly aligned fashion #BikeHfx.

What really makes a city safe? "On Cars and Cartels", a blog post written by our volunteer Kegan: visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/05/24/o...

We were out in Surrey yesterday for BC's first Walk and Roll Accessibility Parade! This event was all about showcasing how accessible public spaces and built environment benefits everyone.

5) POST-CRASH RESPONSE Investigations of every fatal crash, with specific engineering and design recommendations to make sure they don't happen again, with learnings applied to other hotspots.

How do you cross the street? It's not as simple as it sounds! Awesome video as always from our friend @nicthedoor.bsky.social - and a great preview of some of the solutions coming our way if the new Vision Zero plan is approved by council! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuMc...

Happy Saturday! If you haven't already, please take 3 minutes to write in support of the city's upcoming Vision Zero action plan!

The deadline to write in or sign up to speak to council is TOMORROW! Have you done it yet? We make it super easy, click for more info! It really makes a difference.

This week, Vancouver City Council will vote on a Vision Zero Safe Mobility Plan. Please Mayor Sim and council in support or sign up to speak to council. Safe active transportation & better public transit are good for health, equity, and the planet! Write to council now:

It's in the plan. What plan? The city's Vision Zero Safe Mobility Plan! It makes a difference to let Councillors know how many of us are excited about this - send an email or sign up to speak by 5pm tomorrow, June 1st! visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/05/26/s... Video ft. @lucymaloney.bsky.social

On Tuesday June 2, council will vote on the new Vision Zero Safe Mobility Plan. This plan is GREAT. (Details in 🧵below). But we don't know if it will pass and we need your help! Please take a minute to email council & sign up to speak if you're able: visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/05/26/s...

Please keep your reports coming. We're seeing worrying trends in the experiences of people walking, wheeling & cycling in the HRM. The more reports we have the stronger we can make the case for #VisionZero & #RoadSafety as an urgent council priority. Link here & in bio: forms.gle/XGr4do39sW9V...

RIP. This demeans the pedestrian victims of hostile roads, and their families. The solution to this is everyone getting behind and working towards #VisionZero. Not ticketing pedestrians. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

They won't until we flip the script.

Extreme danger for children where they should have a right to move in safety without a protective cage has been completely normalized. This should be a regular agenda item, every time our political leadership meet to discuss transportation.

A week after 2 children were separately hit by drivers in @hfxgov.bsky.social, the Transportation Standing Committee meeting has been cancelled due to a light agenda. No clearer signal that #RoadSafety isn’t treated as urgent business, despite concrete actions that could be taken around #VisionZero

when i was a kid, i got hit by cars 3 times. all 3 times the drivers just drove off. once busted my ankle so i could barely limp home and one lady broke my lower arm in 2 places. with 2 small children in the car! how i fuckin WISH we'd had all these cameras back then. no one cared in the 80s or 90s

This may become my full time job because there are near misses probably every second time I walk, but it's a really important project to highlight just how prevalent the issue is. For now, keep your defensive walking practice sharp and stay safe out there folks.

This is awful. Please do keep me posted.

@sflkirk.bsky.social this is the incident I’m referring to if you’re adding it to your record. I can probably get more details. bsky.app/profile/hrfe...
