BellingenNSWParis residents to vote on making 500 more streets pedestrian"Parisians vote in a referendum on Sunday to decide whether an extra 500 of the city's streets should be pedestrianised and greened, in a new push by the French capital's left-leaning town hall to curb car usage and improve air quality.""This is the third such referendum in Paris in as many years, following a 2023 vote that approved a ban on e-scooters, and a decision last year to triple parking charges for large SUVs.For the past 25 years we've gradually been reclaiming public space for pedestrian traffic, for gentle traffic, and with 'garden streets', to create lungs within neighbourhoods, the places where we live.""If approved, Sunday's referendum will eliminate 10,000 extra parking spots in Paris, adding to the 10,000 removed since 2020. The capital's two million residents will be consulted on which streets will become pedestrian areas. If Parisians vote in favour of the proposal, the 500 streets to be vegetated will bring the total of these "green lungs" to nearly 700, just over one-tenth of the capital's streets."<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/paris-residents-vote-making-500-more-streets-pedestrian-2025-03-22/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/paris-residents-vote-making-500-more-streets-pedestrian-2025-03-22/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cars</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pedestrians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pedestrians</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollution</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/air" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#air</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/traffic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#traffic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FossilFuels</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/PublicSpaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicSpaces</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Bellingen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bellingen</a> Bellingen, Hyde St.: We like speeding trucks and parking, parking and parking...At least turn Church St. from a car park into 'green infrastructure'

Lawmakers are partly to blame.by David Zipper, April 2024"Cars, you might have noticed, have grown enormous."Low-slung station wagons are all but extinct on American roads, and even sedans have become an endangered species. (Ford, producer of the iconic Model T a century ago, no longer sells any sedans in its home market.) Bulky SUVs and pickup trucks — which have themselves steadily added pounds and inches — now comprise more than four out of every five new cars sold in the US, up from just over half in 2013, even as national household size steadily declines."The expanding size of automobiles — a phenomenon I call <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarBloat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarBloat</a> — has deepened a slew of national problems.

Vehicle occupants face danger as well. A 2019 study concluded that compared to a smaller vehicle, an SUV or a pickup colliding with a smaller car was 28 percent and 159 percent, respectively, more likely to kill that car’s driver."Car bloat also threatens the planet. Because heavier vehicles require more energy to move, they tend to gulp rather than sip the gasoline or electricity that powers them, increasing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenhouseGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenhouseGas</a> emissions.

BellingenNSWMassive SUVs/utes and pedestrian safety regulation"The U.S. government’s road safety agency wants the auto industry to design new vehicles including increasingly large SUVs and pickup trucks so they reduce pedestrian deaths and injuries.""The rule would cover all passenger vehicles weighing 10,000 pounds or less, but it’s is aimed largely at big SUVs and pickups, which have grown in size and hood height over the years, causing blind spots for drivers.""NHTSA said pedestrian deaths increased 57% from 2013 to 2022, from 4,779 to 7,522. The agency says the rule would save 67 lives per year. Data show that nearly half of all pedestrian deaths when hit by the front of a vehicle are most common for SUVs and trucks." >> <a href="https://apnews.com/article/us-pedestrian-safety-rule-suvs-pickup-trucks-8ab66c3416dcb91484ec502d6e114ad1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apnews.com/article/us-pedestrian-safety-rule-suvs-pickup-trucks-8ab66c3416dcb91484ec502d6e114ad1</a>Utes and SUVs make up entire top 10 in record year of new car sales in Australia <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/jan/04/australia-2023-new-car-sales-record-list-top-utes-suvs-ford-ranger-toyota-hilux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/jan/04/australia-2023-new-car-sales-record-list-top-utes-suvs-ford-ranger-toyota-hilux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cars</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SUVs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SUVs</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/regulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#regulation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pedestrians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pedestrians</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FootTraffic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FootTraffic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#violence</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MobilityDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MobilityDesign</a>
