Dedicated bike lanes often face criticism from those who believe they slow down traffic. However, research consistently shows that properly designed bike infrastructure not only enhances cyclist safety but can actually improve traffic flow for all road users. As we celebrate Bike Safety Month, it’s important to explore why bike lanes are a critical component of modern urban transportation systems.

In urban environments across the US, cycling continues to gain popularity as a sustainable, healthy, and efficient transportation option. Yet as cycling’s popularity soars, so too does the urgency of addressing safety concerns, especially during those vulnerable twilight and nighttime hours when visibility diminishes.

May is National Bike Safety Month, spearheaded by the League of American Bicyclists, and there's no better time to consider trading your car keys for a bicycle helmet on your daily commute. At PedSafety, we're passionate about promoting safe and healthy transportation alternatives that benefit both individuals and communities.

In 2022, pedestrian fatalities in the U.S. reached a 40-year high, with 7,522 lives lost. As cities and towns grapple with how to make streets safer, one solution is gaining attention for its effectiveness, affordability, and ease of implementation: Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs).

Did you know that the United States has over 300,000 traffic signals and millions of streetlights, consuming an estimated 3 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually? As we celebrate Earth Day this April, it’s worth examining how even the most overlooked elements of infrastructure can contribute to environmental sustainability.

April is National Distracted Driver Awareness Month, a time to spotlight a serious and preventable danger on our roads. At PedSafety, we believe that everyone deserves to arrive home safely. This statement takes on special urgency when we examine one of distracted driving’s most dangerous outcomes, failure to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks. Despite clearly marked crosswalks and established right-of-way laws, driver yielding compliance remains inconsistent across communities. Understanding this behavior is essential to creating safer streets for everyone.

Ensuring pedestrian safety is a fundamental aspect of urban planning, and five U.S. cities have set the gold standard with bold policies, innovative infrastructure, and cutting-edge technology. By prioritizing people over cars, these cities have reshaped their streets to be safer, more accessible, and more equitable for all. Their success stories not only save lives but also provide a blueprint for other municipalities striving to create walkable, bike-friendly communities.
