[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There were 35 traffic fatalities in 2022. Here's what happened per the DC government: 12 deaths -- pedestrian error 9 deaths -- speeding driver 4 deaths -- drunk/stoned driver 4 deaths -- driver error 2 deaths -- bicycle error 2 deaths -- medical emergency 1 death -- scooter/motorcycle/atv error 1 death -- hit and run/unknown [/quote] I was about to have stepped off the curb in Georgetown when what had to be a speeding car turned the corner so fast into a small side street - everyone swiveled and gasped. I came close to death, and I can completely see how hit and run could happen. The city needs to do a one month intensive Singapore style clamp down on s** driving and vehicular crimes, to reset the bad driving and criminal culture to a lower bar. After that , more police attention to the streets overall + speed bumps everywhere if vision zero is to be taken seriously. Our block applied for our side street with lots of kids. Where are they?[/quote]
