Maybe a difference of five or even 10 miles per hour might not sound like a lot to someone, but when you look at the data, it makes a significant difference in the likelihood of injuries and fatalities…

MBJ, we’re being killed. Lower the speed limit in Chicago.

      Valid point. Cyclists need to follow the laws to keep pedestrians safe until the time comes that modes can be properly separated.

      I believe raised (level crossing) crosswalks are the most desirable piece of tactical infrastructure we have. This would slow down cyclists and cars dramatically in downtowns, where pedestrians need to be the priority.
