[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd love to know how many millions of pounds of carbon will be released into the atmosphere each year because engines idling unnecessarily at red lights. I guess we can blame the Council and the bike mafia for global warming now. [/quote] "Unnecessarily" why? There's nothing unnecessary about safer streets.[/quote] "Traffic calming" doesnt actually make the streets any safer. The number of people killed by speeding drivers in Washington DC is more or less the same every single year (around 10) for the past 25 years. Traffic calming does force drivers to sit in traffic longer which increases greenhouse gas emissions. [/quote] The number of people in DC killed by speeding drivers in past dozen years, per the government: 2022 -- 9 2021 -- 12 2020 -- 15 2019 -- 10 2018 -- 9 2017 -- 12 2016 -- 8 2015 -- 11 2014 -- 12 2013 -- 11 2012 -- 5 2011 -- 15 2010 -- 8[/quote]
