[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have "Vision Zero" for bicyclists getting hit by cars (which is very rare). How about "Vision Zero" for murder?[/quote] Because a Vision Zero for violent crime would be deemed racist, as it would target only one group of people. It's why the Vision Zero for traffic deaths is so ineffective: Human traffic stops -- a provable way to make the roads safer for everyone -- have been deemed racist so we don't do them anymore. Instead, we have cameras issuing tickets that drivers from Maryland and Virginia can safely ignore. [/quote] Vision Zero isn't failing because of a lack of traffic stops. Vision Zero is failing because drivers whine incessantly and throw tantrums about having to navigate bike lanes, ceding the right of way to pedestrians, losing parking spots, and having to drive slower, and so none of the physical changes we need to make roads safer are implemented.[/quote]
