Great thread and summary of the US #TrafficSafety Crisis
To the extent the US is exceptional it is in the resistance agencies & leaders show to recognize the profound failure of our status quo. Bad plans, bad standards, and bad outcomes are too often on autopilot & hard to stop
TransportationGov Meanwhile, prominent US safety leaders (like GHSA's leader here) often downplay global comparisons, claiming the US is inherently different due to 'culture.' linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…
On the contrary, sky-high US road deaths are due to policy choices -- which we can change.
With the US so atrocious at road safety, you’d think its leaders would eagerly import lessons from abroad.
Instead, TransportationGov recently launched a new initiative to share US “best practices” with the world. Good luck with that.
