Where The Car Is The Star…

Say what you like about bicycle and pedestrian safety; safe crosswalks, bike lanes, helmets, high viz, walkability, Complete Streets, etc., these are merely sinecures imposed on us by murderous drivers. 

It does not change the fact that greatest perpetrator of deaths and serious injuries on the roads are the drivers of motor vehicles; cars, trucks, buses, etc.

 

The recent hysteria over bike and ebike regulation is infuriating, dumb, and counter-productive.

Yes, safety AND parking are trending on local socialmedia. 

Whether the town’s recent, poorly compiled bike/pedestrian questionnaire elicits any useful info
other than some people feel “uncomfortable” using crosswalks remains to
be assessed.

redbankgreen.com has been closely following the council’s agenda as usual and this week
looks at car storage … erm, I mean parking… in Red Bank NJ over the
last century or so, forgetting that not one road or street in the town
was built for cars…
