Public transport offers several benefits over private vehicles as a solution for traffic congestion:

1. Efficiency: Public transport can carry many passengers at once, reducing the number of vehicles on the road.
2. Environmentally friendly: Public transport emits fewer pollutants per passenger mile than private vehicles, reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
3. Cost-effective: Using public transport can be cheaper than owning and maintaining a private vehicle, especially considering fuel, insurance, and parking costs.
4. Infrastructure savings: Investing in public transport infrastructure, such as buses, trains, and bike lanes, can be more cost-effective than building and maintaining roads for individual vehicles.
5. Reduced congestion: By reducing the number of cars on the road, public transport can alleviate traffic congestion, leading to shorter travel times for everyone.

Encouraging the use of public transport through incentives, such as subsidies, improved accessibility, and better service quality, can help alleviate traffic congestion and its associated problems.

AFTER A TEACHER LOST HIS LIFE HERE, ISN'T IT TIME FOR A TRUE 20 KPH SCHOOL ZONE?

Although there was a school zone sign and a marked cross walk, a teacher was hit and later died at this location.

So, what defines a 20 kph school zone? Is it paint and a sign? Designing a street with features that constantly slow the average driver to 20 kph is the responsibility of the city, and paint and signage alone do not meet this requirement.

Safe street design incorporates several measures that protect the street user if an error is made. For school zones, the road should be designed to protect the users and allow the pedestrians to use the cross walk if there is a cross walk request.

There are many design features that can be integrated on a school street to protect users if it is designed and implemented with a highly visible raised pedestrian treatment. Are schools not worthy of a safe and protective design of the streets?

ARE VISIBILITY, EMPATHY, AND AWARENESS IMPORTANT IN ROAD SAFETY?

This photograph shows several aspects that are usually absent in discussions on road safety. The pedestrians and the driver of the vehicle, as well as the cyclist, can all see one another, as well as the actions of each other that are relevant to the situation. They are all mutually aware of each other’s presence, and the situation on the street is safe.

It is understandable that when considering means to improve road safety, the emphasis is usually placed on the widening of roads, installation of traffic management systems, and barriers. The enforcement of traffic management laws is also extremely important. The failure to employ these adequately may result in the technology and systems designed for improvement of road safety becoming in effect a good, but misplaced, effort.

In respect of road safety, it is extremely important to focus on the users of the road, and to employ systems that foster and enhance the understanding, consideration and respect of others.

Do you think a majority of road safety initiatives should be focused on the improvement of road safety facilities and systems, on the enforcement of laws and regulations, or on changing the attitude of road users?
