We’ve been meeting Councillors in #Drogheda to build positive relationships and press for more #ActiveTravel supports. We’ll keep at it.

A reminder: Don't judge councillors on them being a cyclist or not, or saying they support something generally, judge them based on what projects and policies they are supporting:

The best kind of cycling infrastructure?

An absence of car traffic.

Any road or street without car traffic is usually a great place to ride a bike.

This road outside Oslo has been permanently closed to car traffic. It’s one of my favorite places.

FIGURE 2: Average Annual Fatal Collisions per 1 Million Cars by Weight Category (2019-2023) Key findings: Lighter cars (500-1000kg) have the lowest fatal collision rates per million cars across all collision types, indicating a lower relative risk compared to heavier cars. As car weight increases, the number of fatal collisions rises, peaking at 26.2 for the heaviest cars (2001-2500kg) suggesting a higher likelihood of involvement in fatal collisions. This trend is consistent for Car-Car and Car- Pedestrian collisions. In Car-Bike collisions, lighter cars have the lowest fatal collision rates per million cars, indicating they are less likely to be involved in fatal collisions with cycles compared to heavier cars, which show consistent fatality rates for cars in categories above 1001kg.

New analysis of relationship between car weight and fatal collision rates in the UK finds “ppl driving heavier cars are disproportionately involved in more fatal collisions”.

Particularly the case for those involving other cars or pedestrians.
