About a month ago Toronto's Vision Zero team began a campaign called "Rules for Rideables", which they have a page for here and I previously shared their posters in this post a couple pages back. Since then, The Biking Layer has put out a handful of "ads" in the style of the Vision Zero campaign and borrowing phrases to criticize the e-bike/scooter enforcement blitz, hand-wringing about riding on the sidewalk, and putting focus on the real culprit of road violence.

I don’t think there’s a better thread for this but an illuminating moment to share. Was at a street party this evening and after the band finished up and everyone started clearing the street, barriers were moved so musicians could drive in and load up their cars (earlier they just walked it in just over 50 metres). As kids were still playing and running around on the street, a group of young girls stopped and wondered/complained, “Why are there so many coming onto the street? Why can’t they just walk?!”

With the tiniest taste of streets free of cars even kids see how much better it is.
