Brent Toderian<p>Remember, when it comes to the actual likelihood that a vehicle crash will occur at all, AND whether the consequences of a crash are serious, or even deadly, or not, speed is ALWAYS a factor. Including when the legal speed limits are currently too high. <a href="https://bsky.brid.gy/hashtag/SpeedKills" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SpeedKills</a> <a href="https://bsky.brid.gy/hashtag/VisionZero" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VisionZero</a></p>

Gladwyn d’Souza<p>JonathanVankin for California Local- In California, speeding-related tragedies were 35 percent of the total 4,285 traffic fatalities in the state happened due to excessive speeds. That’s about 1,500 deaths.<br>Friedman also authored 2021’s AB43, which allows local governments to lower speed limits without following the state-mandated “85th percentile rule,”<br>Under Friedman’s new legislation, AB645,&amp;nbsp; Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, Long Beach and San Francisco will be allowed to install the automated cameras—previously prohibited under state law—in “high injury network” areas, that is, areas where the highest percentage of crashes occur. The cameras will also be allowed near schools, and in areas prone to street racing.&amp;nbsp;<br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/CrashesArentAccidents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CrashesArentAccidents</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SpeedKills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SpeedKills</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/20splenty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>20splenty</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SpeedSafetyCamerasSaveLives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SpeedSafetyCamerasSaveLives</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UnGlamourousSolutionsAreClimateJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UnGlamourousSolutionsAreClimateJustice</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SlowStreetNetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SlowStreetNetworks</span></a></p>
