[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The city council in 2022 passed a law that would have allowed people to renew their driver’s licenses even if they had unpaid traffic fines, despite several council members’ concerns that leniency could worsen unsafe driving in the District. The law was not set to go into effect until October 2023, but then a federal judge’s ruling in a separate case forced the city to stop disqualifying residents with unpaid fines from getting or renewing licenses.

At a news conference Thursday afternoon, council member Charles Allen (D-Ward 6) said the Rock Creek Parkway crash also highlights the need for better street design, noting that many corridors are designed to move cars at great speed. “We have whole swaths of our city that are designed to simply move vehicles as quickly as we can, not ‘how do we move people around safely?’ And that’s a design issue,” he said. The District’s transportation department, he said, should be more aggressive in rebuilding streets to be safer spaces.
