Or make walking illegal. In California, it could happen.

You are talking about L.A. Completely different planet from San Francisco.

Let’s see, the cyclists are getting killed because they ignore traffic laws, the pedestrians are getting killed because they are engaging in distracted walking... yup, its all the vehicle drivers’ fault. That’s libtard logic at its best.

[Svartalfiar]

Wow. The school zone by my house has a posted limit of 25 (45 when not zone-time). I can’t see how people could possibly get around driving 15mph everywhere.

[PghBaldy]

School zones here are 15 MPH.

[Straight Vermonter]

Most of the people hit by cars around here are college kids. They really should take some time during orientation to show kids how to cross the street. These idiots just step off the curb in front of cars.

Vision..ZERO?

I can see Obama getting...involved with this one yes!

what a fitting name in these times..

Here's How We Can Really Achieve Zero Pedestrian Deaths in San Francisco:

Have everybody leave San Francisco. Problem solved.

Next....

Whites easily have the lowest rate of pedestrian deaths.

The CDC has the race, sex, and age, numbers.

I thought the point of the article was going to be to outlaw cars. THAT’S what I would expect in San Francisco!

[Svartalfiar]

Yea, most of the schools deeper in the city are 15. But Murphy’s still on the outskirts enough, and a wide enough area around the road, that they just haven’t lowered the school speed yet. I’m sure they’ll get around to it eventually :/

"I thought the point of the article was going to be to outlaw cars. THAT’S what I would expect in San Francisco!"

These things take time. Remember . . . It took over a century to change the USA into the USSSA (and the job is not yet really finished).

[Secret Agent Man]

they want people to go insane at 15 mph on portland streets. you get worse fuel economy in lower gears too, eco-freaks.

Whites easily have the lowest rate of pedestrian deaths.

So another failure of the Baraqqi regime?

[nascarnation]

The obvious choice is to ban vehicles at the city perimeter and use human powered rickshaws to transport people and cargo to their final destination.
Thus solving the unemployment “problem”

“These idiots just step off the curb in front of cars.”

How can they be expected to notice cars when they are in the middle of texting?

Wow, that made me dizzy. You're right, of course, but since LA is it's own planet too, and neither are the ones everyone else is on... whoa...

[trisham]

How many cyclist and pedestrian deaths are there a year? I’m guessing far fewer than the obsessive concern of the author and his kind warrants.

[GeronL]

ban walking?
