If car usage is going down but pedestrian injuries are going up? The pedestrians are not crashing into one another with greater frequency...
- consumer451 6mo agoYeah, my experience was anecdotal. Also, cyclists can be assholes. However, they have less inertia. What I would like to see is mortality rates of pedestrians in Paris in general. That might be the actually interesting trend.
- saltysalt 6mo agoI would wager it's the usage of payments and ignoring of pedestrian lights by cyclists is a big factor. As a pedestrian, I've had FAR more encounters with aggressive cyclists than aggressive drivers (also anecdotal). Makes walking downtown more stressful.
- Mawr 6mo agoThe difference in severity of a crash between a car and a bicycle is on the order of 20x. Are you seeing 20x more agressive cyclists than motorists? Anyhow, talking about the hospitalization rate without the mortality rate is very odd and smells of manipulation one way or the other.

- saltysalt 6mo agoSorry but I don't speak German, what's the context for that video?
- peterfirefly 6mo agoJust watch it until about half way in. This is the context: > and cars aren't mounting pavements to get me...

- aidenn0 6mo agoReducing congestion can increase car speeds, which can increase incidents.
- saltysalt 6mo agoBut they are reducing speed limits also, so this is highly unlikely...
