I’m back in your screens, talking about Allie 🫶🏻 and the importance of doing real things we know can save lives, like using tech and street design to slow drivers. 🚗 It’s why we’re walking on Nov 16 to honor victims and call for slowing down. #StopSuperSpeeders www.wusa9.com/article/life...

A no-brainer. Suspended licenses don't work. Mandate Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) for high-risk drivers who cause the most traffic violence. #StopSuperSpeeders legislation has passed in Washington State. Let's make it happen in Oregon! @familiesforsafestreets.org bsky.app/profile/fami...

IF you are a lawmaker who wants to #StopSuperSpeeders or want to share with one, Our new White Paper AND model legislation can help you get started. www.familiesforsafestreets.org/stop-super-s...

ISA "is a concept not everyone understands. And you have to present the data over and over again and just be factual about it" says #StopSuperSpeeders leader @repleavitt.bsky.social Speaking of, that's why we have this new white paper static1.squarespace.com/static/669fe...

"Suspended licenses don't stop people from driving. They're driving to work. They're driving to childcare. And sometimes, they're killing people" @repleavitt.bsky.social says #StopSuperSpeeders

Families sharing their stories, of losing family members due to egregious speeders, moved lawmakers to tears in Washington State, says Rep. Mari Leavitt who led #StopSuperSpeeders legislation

To respond to concerns about low-income drivers, Washington State has a special fund to fund speed limiters and fees for indigent drivers. Other drivers who are convicted of serious offenses and required to use speed limiting devices pay for their installation and use, says Rep. Mari Leavitt

Re. Mari Leavitt, who spearheaded Washington State's #StopSuperSpeeders legislation, says She was inspired by a case where a driver going 120 mph crashed into a van killing three local children.

American drivers have signaled lukewarm acceptance of speed-limiting technology, says Reagan at @iihs-hldi.bsky.social

Ian Reagan @iihs-hldi.bsky.social: The effectiveness has been tested over decades. When drivers are using ISA (Intelligent Speed Assistance) ... they speed less.

Ian Reagan of @iihs-hldi.bsky.social says more than 700 people in the US were killed in 2023 alone by people driving more than 100 mph. These are the kind of cases where Intelligent Speed Assistance can game-changing. More here: www.familiesforsafestreets.org/stop-super-s...

Lori Markowitz whose son Josh was killed by a driver going 100 in a 25 mph zone. Helped pass #StopSuperSpeeders Legislation in Washington State. "Anti speed technology could have saved Josh's life," she says.

I am old enough to have taken Drivers Ed in high school. The one lesson I remember is when the teacher timed us driving from point A to point B at the speed limit then again faster. The times were mostly the same.

NHTSA data show 29% of crash fatalities in 2023 were speeding related. Requiring Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) tech for convicted “super speeders” is a way to address this behavior. We contributed to a white paper out today from @familiesforsafestreets.org

Zachary Wensel, 19, was disabled when a driver drove left of center to pass an Amish buggy and struck him head on on his motorcycle in Holmes County, Ohio. A short time later, unable to work, he took is own life 😭 His mother is fighting for a safety fix www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-n...

If you feel strongly about avoiding punitive enforcement, speed limiters (ISA) - which are already standard in the EU and on bike/scooter share everywhere - are the way.

Right now, when states/cities have repeat reckless drivers -- street racers, driving over 100 mph -- they're suspending their licenses. BUT that DOESN'T WORK. 75% continue to drive. Speed limiters offer a better alternative. #StopSuperSpeeders static1.squarespace.com/static/669fe...

*Clears throat*: TODAY, we're releasing our new White Paper explaining how Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) can help YOUR STATE can finally solve the problem of reckless repeat speeders WITHOUT trapping them in a cycle of incarceration. www.familiesforsafestreets.org/stop-super-s...

Never forget: the human cost of inaction to make our road safer is incalculable.

Speeding killed nearly 12,000 people in 2023—almost as many as drunk driving—and costs society an estimated $46 billion annually. And for what? For this: 🥴 Read our new White Paper about what we can do to stop the madness. #StopSuperSpeeders static1.squarespace.com/static/669fe...

Sarah invites people who'd like to help with the 82nd Ave Memorial Project to join her at the Springwater Cart Park (SE Harney & Springwater Corridor Trail) on Sunday Nov 2 at 1PM. Please join the BikeLoud Slack if you can't make this meeting but would like to help out! bikeloudpdx.org/action2/

Sarah Risser, @familiesforsafestreets.org leader & recent BikeLoud Board member, will focus attention on the 20 people killed on SE 82nd in the past decade. World Day of Remembrance 11/16/25 #WDoR2025 www.google.com/maps/d/viewe...

Wherever you live, check in with your local Families for Safe Streets or advocacy group to get involved with World Day of Remembrance -- a powerful demonstration of the human cost of traffic violence! Or plan one of your own!

🕯️World Day of Remembrance Please join us Sunday November 16, 1:00pm on the steps of Providence City Hall as we join with communities around the world in remembering the lives lost to traffic violence. @familiesforsafestreets.org #WDoR2025 #SafeSpeedsSaveLives. 1/3

More people are killed in traffic than by homicides now in Los Angeles. The problem has been worsening dramatically as the city failed to follow through on its Vision Zero plan lapublicpress.org/2025/10/most...

This is what we're up against.

We're loving the proposed redesign of this important corridor (Water Street) in Milwaukee. Bus lanes + bike lanes + bigger sidewalks. More of this, please! biztimes.com/fewer-car-la...

Shout out to our member Darnell McCrow. Darnell’s teenage daughter, Niyell McCrorey, was killed by an SUV driver in 2024. Now he's speaking up for change in NYC and beyond. usa.streetsblog.org/2025/10/27/h...

"In New York City, drivers with 16 or more speed safety camera tickets in a year are twice as likely to kill or injure pedestrians." usa.streetsblog.org/2025/10/27/h...

"ISA [Intelligent Speed Assistance] has the potential to be one of the most transformative vehicle safety technologies in a generation and to save tens of thousands of lives." #StopSuperSpeeders usa.streetsblog.org/2025/10/27/h...

"These bills require the worst-of-the-worst reckless speeders to install Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) devices — speed limiters — in their vehicles, in the same way as most states require drunk drivers to install breathalyzers" #StopSuperSpeeders usa.streetsblog.org/2025/10/27/h...

Something else we could do to stop super speeders? Require intelligent speed assistance for violators. Places like Virginia have recently enacted laws for this approach, thanks to the work of groups like @familiesforsafestreets.org . Missouri should follow suit. fox4kc.com/news/kcpd-cr...

Our member Tina Ortiz endured 29 procedures and the loss of her leg after being struck by a hit-and-run driver here. Now she's striving to protect others through advocacy. "She's an inspiration to all of us in the gym. People be crying in here," www.fox6now.com/news/shes-an...

THANK YOU to state Rep. Russell Goodwin and our member Tina Ortiz Goodwin has introed a #StopSuperSpeeders bill (SB375) in Wisconsin. Tina testified: "I was the victim of a hit-n-run crash. I lost my left leg... That’s why I’m here today supporting the #StopSuperSpeeders bill”

If that many people were killed in air crashes every year they would close all the airports.

People killed by some imaginary safety issue with rainbow crosswalks: 0 People killed trying to cross U.S. street (where unsafe conditions are the accepted norm): 7,148 last year alone. Priorities!

Four teenagers killed by a wrong-way driver on the NJ Turnpike. 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️ Yaakov Kilberg, 19, Aharon Lebovits,18, and Shlomo Cohen, 18, and Chaim Grossman, 18 😭 It's far too often we see American highways becoming scenes of mass tragedy. www.courierpostonline.com/story/news/l...

Setting aside that car drivers cause virtually all the injuries and deaths on our streets, every time there is rare crash involving an illegal e-bike, naysayers capitalize by conflating them with safe, legal e-bikes to further an anti-bike agenda.

In Milwaukee, police will now be able to impound any vehicle driven recklessly. City Alderman: “It’s a two-ton weapon. We should look at this the same way we look at firearms. Let’s get as many of them off the street as possible.”

This is what local progress on vision zero looks like: -Fewer crashes -fewer deaths -fewer injuries -safer walking & biking 👏👏👏 Pittsburgh. Not only is it possible, it is a moral imperative that we address this leading cause of preventable deaths. More here: www.axios.com/local/pittsb...

The fact that European vehicle safety standards have gotten so much better than the U.S.'s that it has become this major international trade bargaining chip is a tragedy. The safety of drivers, passengers, bicyclists, children, pedestrians, it shouldn't be negotiable! These groups are correct!

Pittsburgh is a powerful Vision Zero success story. Road deaths are down by about 1/3rd over 20 year averages The city has added 24 miles of bike infrastructure since 2009 — including several miles of traffic-claiming "neighborways" www.axios.com/local/pittsb...

🙌 this "quick build" sidewalk/bikeway constructed on Maryland. More agencies should act with urgency and use creative tools to repair unwalkable, dangerous corridors. blog.mdot.maryland.gov/mdot-investm...

Maryland is gearing up for a big investment in biking and walking. You love to see it. blog.mdot.maryland.gov/mdot-investm...

Cardiff will be the first UK city to introduce a surcharge for oversized SUVs and trucks, "while very large vehicles – those over 3,500kg – will be excluded from residential permits entirely."

Is your state one of the many that considering legislation to #StopSuperSpeeders? TAs we enter legislative season, we're advancing bills using Intelligent Speed Assistance (speed limiters) to crack down on repeat dangerous speeders. Stay tuned! www.familiesforsafestreets.org/safe-vehicles

Also gives more space back to the people

NYC uses low cost "turn calming" measures like shown in this image to reduce left turn-crashes, which are 3Xs as high as right turn. We're loving the traffic calming tips that are showcased in this new guide from the Global Designing Cities Initiative globaldesigningcities.org/publication/...
