As with COVID-related outcomes, focusing only on fatalities ignores other meaningful negative outcomes. Based on personal experience after living SF/Oakland ~ 10 years, I'd also take measurements like "in pedestrian cross-walk" with a grain of salt. Anecdotally, 1st-degree friends have been involved in: * Pedestrian killed by a MUNI bus, intoxicated and just out of the cross-walk, the bus driver deemed not at fault. * Cyclist killed by a delivery truck, while biking in a bike line on Folsom. * Cyclist in bike lane on Valencia hit by a truck, dealing with TBI and anxiety years later but with no visible damage. * My Uber driver, turning left onto Valencia, hit a pedestrian holding a red cup. A police officer happened to witness the incident, saw the red cup, and sent the driver on their way in under a minute. |
