> Or, you know, we can do both at the same time? Or maybe we prioritise the class of vehicles responsible for almost 5 fatalities and 75 serious injuries a day[1]? For comparison, [2] says that 30 pedestrians were killed and 1093 serious injuries involved cyclists in eight (8) years. In 416 weeks, that's less than one (1) week of car deaths (0.2% ratio) and two (2) weeks of serious injuries (0.4% ratio). Anyone that says "we should prioritise X and 416*X the same" is either not arguing in good faith or should be nowhere near decision making. [1] https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/reported-road-casua... - 1760 fatalities, 28044 serious injuries. [2] https://www.nationalworld.com/news/politics/pedestrians-kill... |
