BellingenNSWThe koala procreation season and car crashesSpeeding combustion engines are one of the major threats to unarmoured koalas. No road is ever wide enough for vehicles in the Bellingen/Gleniffer area. Road signage is regularly knocked down and speeding is the 24/7 norm.Koalas like to meet up between June and December. This is the time when the marsupials are forced to negotiate a fragmented habitat of roads, settlements and degraded logging sites.Switch on your 'car brain' and consider others. >> <a href="https://friendsofthekoala.org/koalas-and-cars/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://friendsofthekoala.org/koalas-and-cars/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cars</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/roads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#roads</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/motorists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#motorists</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NSW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NSW</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biodiversity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/koalas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#koalas</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/RoadTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RoadTrauma</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Bellingen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bellingen</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/GlenifferRoad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GlenifferRoad</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/RosesRoad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RosesRoad</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BellingenShire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BellingenShire</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SignageKnockedDown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SignageKnockedDown</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/enforcement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enforcement</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MobilityDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MobilityDesign</a>

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.

BellingenNSWParis mayor plans to triple SUV parking tariffs to cut air pollution‘It’s a form of social justice,’ says Anne Hidalgo of move to target richest drivers to tackle climate breakdown. Paris intends to triple parking charges for large sports utility vehicles (SUVs) in order to push them out of the city and limit emissions and air pollution, the mayor has said."“It is a form of social justice,” Anne Hidalgo announced on Friday of the plan to deliberately target the richest drivers to tackle the climate breakdown and air pollution...This is about very expensive cars, driven by people who today have not yet made the changes to their behaviour that have to be made [for the climate].”"Paris will hold a referendum on 4 February asking residents to vote for or against a specific parking tariff for heavy, large and polluting SUVs.If Paris votes yes on parking tariffs, the cost of on-street parking for an SUV or 4x4 car will rise to €18 (£15) an hour in the centre of Paris and €12 an hour in the rest of the city, officials said on Friday. The prices will apply to vehicles weighing more than 1.6 tonnes with a combustion engine or hybrid vehicles, and more than 2 tonnes for electric vehicles.

Rather than thinking of design as something merely additive or “beautifying,” we need to think about undoing our environmental mistakes, like damming rivers, bulkheading our shorelines, and concretizing streams.
