Well said nobrainer. It's curious that people think we have something sinister to gain from promoting our ideas on this site. As you suggest, the only thing we have to gain is a better quality of life for everyone.

And yes it is quite appropriate to have this discussion after another accident. It's a sad fact that, despite the overwhelming evidence that speeding traffic is dangerous to pedestrians, many people, including our politicians, will not believe this or do anything to fix the problem until more people are killed. I just don't understand how it is in any way acceptable to allow these accidents to continue when they can be so easily prevented. If we had as many deaths through gun violence on our streets you can bet there would be an outcry. But somehow death by car is, 'just one of those things'.

It doesn't matter who was to 'blame' for this. Pedestrians deaths are avoidable and yet we do nothing to prevent them - that's the bottom line.
