    There is a twitter account that never misses tweeting any car/pedestrian accident, but conveniently never tweets the cause or follow up investigation.

    We're going to get blanket 30km/h, if not today, then shortly after. Transit and bylaw will be able to hand out tickets, and we'll be funding CPS more through ticket revenue. What the city is doing is painfully obvious. The whole 30/30 is too extreme, let's walk it back a bit. Then we'll go all about cost savings no more playground zone signs and blanket 30.

    Where's the "lower speed limits = more time on the road = more carbon emissions" argument?

    I wonder how they define an injury collision, doesn't everyone that gets hit by someone else in Canada claim injury as a way to get more money out of the insurance companies?

    “Similarly, of the 680 fatal and injury collisions per year on residential and collector roads, administration anticipates the reduced speed limit of 30 km/h would result in 140 – 270 fewer fatal and injury collisions per year.”
    I'm too lazy to look into this but I highly doubt we have 680 fatal collisions a year. I bet we have less than a tenth. Not surprising the city has no idea what they're talking about.

    They grouped fatal and injury together, with fatal being mentioned first to sound way more serious business. The numbers is also city wide, and not just for the residential areas. It's misleading as fuck.

    Go back 5 or 6 pages, and I've posted every single fatal collision in residential areas. It's like 5, although I want to say we added 1 more since then.

    Its in the comments of the article actually:

    According to the City: [calgary.ca https://pub-calgary.escribemeetings....umentId=32882]
    (2016) Total City-wide Collisions - 43,369 Fatal Collisions - 26.
    This story says: “there are approximately 10,250 total collisions per year, which includes 680 fatal collisions”.

    For comparison, Edmonton stats [https://www.edmonton.ca/transportati...sSummary.pdf]:
    (2018) Total Collisions 24,003 Fatal Collisions 19

    I think its because they are including injury collisions in their numbers, and as per my point above if they are getting these injury details from the insurance providers - everyone claims injury in a major collision dont they.

    Doesn’t the fatal count also include people being hit by C train

    Federal numbers: https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehicl...tics-2017.html
    In 2017, the number of motor vehicle fatalities was 1,841; down 2.8% from 2016 (1,895)
    So no, we definitely don't have 680 fatal injuries on Calgary streets. They are likely using federal numbers but only for residential roads.

    This is the data for residential roads covered by the speed limit reduction. Data from last year, I think we've added 1 since then, the cyclist one somewhere in the south.

    edit - was wrong, that was a motorcyclist. Quick google shows nothing new since this post in residential areas.

    Our councilors have voted. Speed limit reduction is a go.

    The stats are hilarious. 5 pedestrians killed in residential areas in the last 7 years. None had anything to do with speeding.

    First one was run over twice, second one was backing up, 3rd was near crosswalk at night, 4th was the poor little girl in bowness where truck was stopped then drove into her from a stop, last was the backing up one. The 3rd, I couldn’t find any information on speed, aside from speed was not a factor from police.

    More bike lanes would help make the pedestrian realm safer as well without the need speed limit reduction. One of the ways better planning and design will actually make streets safer, rather than just changing a sign and pretending it's safer.

    It is not 680 fatal injuries, it is 680 fatalities and injuries.

    30kph is so painful, driving about in airdrie is all about that pain.

    Looking at Hawkwood data, there has been 1 fatal, 1 major, 3 minor pedestrian injuries in Hawkwood in the last 20 years. Here is the fatal accident:

    Speed limits apply to driveways too, if she was reversing at 30km/hr she could have stopped.

    This is the real key here. Council has already posited giving Bylaw officers the ability to man photo radars and hand out tickets. It's going to be a massive, massive cash cow for the City and CPS.
