- It's been a sad and horrific day for pedestrians and bicyclists in Philadelphia. Traffic deaths are preventable, its all about physics. What we are missing is the political will to make the hard choices to achieve #VisionZeroPHL
- Hold on we fixed it for you! Once again, we are asking PennDOT to stop victim blaming pedestrians, it doesn't help keep people safer. Instead focus on driver's safety like @NHTSAgov who we referenced in this great redo 🥰
We’re back with more pedestrian info to wrap up Highway Safety Law Awareness Week. Here are some additional tips to stay safe as you’re walking outside. For more safety law info, check out our blog post: penndot.pa.gov/PennDOTWay/Pag…. #PATrafficLaw #BeSafePA - Replying to @JoshShapiroPAWhy? And what about careless households and familes who use transit or bike? Do better for climate and sustainable transportaion.
- We are disappointed to hear the Mayor's office has stopped recording calls from individuals concerned about street safety. Democracy works when our elected officials work for us. Sign our petition and share it. We will be hand delivering it to City Hall …coalition.secure.nonprofitsoapbox.com/component/sbxp…
- Should MLK Drive remain a street for people? yes yes yes 👇 👇 👇
- Close to 100 at the human protected bike lane on Spruce Street calling for better protection. #visionzerophl
- Heartbreaking news that we've lost another cyclist. This is the 5th person killed while riding a bicycle in 2023. Traffic fatalities are unacceptable and preventable.
- Great to meet @SecretaryPete to thank him and ask for his support of #visionzerophl & @Fam4SafeStreets & better bike infrastructure at today's presser abt #BuildBackBetterAct #onthecircuit
- Yet another speeding vehicle lands on or crosses the Kelly Drive shared-use path. Once again no trail users were hurt, but our luck is going to run out someday if this road isn't made safer and the path isn't protected. #VIsionZeroPHLCars on the Schuylkill River trail… Really bad car accident. Kelly Drive is shut down. The Kelly Drive should have speed cameras and speed cushions. Stop allowing cars to ruin Philadelphia.
- Philly bike shops are now considered "essential businesses" and can remain open:
- Happy Holidays! Awesome to ride on the new 15th St. protected bike lane from Vine to Arch. Can't wait for the other sections to get protected soon. Thanks for the early present!! @PennDOTNews District 6, @PhilaStreets @PhillyOTIS
00:00 - Bollards have been returned to the apron in front of @philamuseum!!! Thank you @PhillyOTIS @PhilaStreets and @PhilaParkandRec 📷Brian Elmore
- Incredibly disappointing to see hours after a vigil that shot down the road. Sign now: …coalition.secure.nonprofitsoapbox.com/component/sbxp…PAINT & PLASTIC IS NOT PROTECTION
