How Street Design Failed a School Crossing Guard

A crossing guard was driven into, after many previous “close calls”. Enough is enough. We need to change the way we look at vehicle collisions here in Canada… because just claiming that collisions (not accidents) like these are “inevitable” isn't enough. We need to change the way we design our roads to save our neighbours. How many more lives need to be lost before change happens? How many people need to be permanently disabled for the rest of their lives, due to reckless driving? The time is now. It's always been. ================ LINKS FULL INTERVIEW with Deborah Kime: https://www.patreon.com/posts/134629742 Colin podcast: releasing soon Dan Cameron podcast episode: https://youtu.be/BCppC-FBt8w ================ Get early access to videos and exclusive behind-the-scenes content, like our extensive brainstorming sessions, full interviews, and video commentaries over at https://www.patreon.com/bendurham Do you have an insider tip or unique information on a story?
