#WindshieldBias

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Early today, when the streets were nearly empty, a personal passenger vehicle in #Portland appears to have blown a red light and caused a collision with a lightrail train.

People often blame people on bikes for causing collisions because they’re not well lit, not following traffic laws or behaving predictably.

If a train with intensely bright headlights, that literally runs on both rails & a schedule isn’t safe, maybe the problem isn’t people on bikes.

Continued thread

Every single time that someone looks at their #transportation options to get to work, run an errand, take the kids to school... and they choose driving, is ANOTHER CAR ON THE ROAD. Agencies need to quit acting like cars are their most important customers (more importantly, their budgets and revenue models not be structured that way) and account for the long-term insolvency that #motoNormativity #CarBrain #WindshieldBias imposes on the city. #VisionZero + #ClimateAction plans call for urgency!
