Many rural roads will see to speed limit sign changes from today as the first wave of speed limits changes as part of the ‘Slower Speeds, Safer Roads' campaign are enforced. This change will see speed limits reduce from 80 to 60 kilometres per hour. Speaking to Newstalk Breakfast was Dr. Suzanne Meade, Transport Infrastructure Ireland Senior Engineer in Road Safety.

Many rural roads will see to speed limit sign changes from today as the first wave of speed limits changes as part of the ‘Slower Speeds, Safer Roads' campaign are enforced. This change will see speed limits reduce from 80 to 60 kilometres per hour. Speaking to Newstalk Breakfast was Dr. Suzanne Meade, Transport Infrastructure Ireland Senior Engineer in Road Safety.

In this episode, Niall is asking: Are the new speed laws about saving lives, or are they just another way to generate revenue? Many people are unaware that from February 7th, speed limits on many rural local roads will be reduced. We talk to Eric Nelligan and ask if this change is really about road safety or if it's just another cash grab.From next month, the default speed limit on rural local roads will decrease from 80 km/h to 60 km/h, as part of the government's new "Slower Speeds, Safer Roads" plan. The changes come following recommendations from the Speed Limit Review and are aimed at reducing road deaths, particularly in high-risk areas. Supporters of the measure say it will lead to fewer severe accidents, while critics argue it will lead to more fines rather than real safety improvements.Some callers think these new speed limits are essential for saving lives. Many rural roads are narrow, winding, and not designed for high-speed driving. Lowering the speed limit to 60 km/h will help prevent accidents and fatalities, especially in areas with poor visibility and unpredictable conditions. A reduced speed limit means shorter stopping distances and gives drivers more reaction time to avoid collisions. If it saves even one life, it's worth it.While other callers feel this is just another way to generate revenue through fines. Many drivers are accustomed to the 80 km/h limit, and sudden changes will likely lead to unintentional speeding, meaning more tickets and more money for the government. Instead of focusing on real safety improvements like better road conditions, clearer signage, or better driver education, they're imposing lower speed limits just to catch people out. It's an unfair crackdown on motorists.As the debate rages on, one thing is clear—opinions on this issue are deeply divided. Supporters of the new laws argue that even a slight reduction in speed could mean the difference between life and death, while opponents believe it's just another way for the government to squeeze more money from drivers. Will these changes actually improve road safety, or are they just another example of unnecessary bureaucracy? Only time will tell.

I love riding my bike. And I am not afraid, but that is not how it's always been for me. I used to be scared, and in this episode, I share about a time when I felt fearful every time I got into the car and how I overcame that fear.I share a technique to heal fear and to make things right because the safety we desire comes from within first. And don't be afraid to look within; we have to let the trauma shake out, and when we do this, we shift our point of attraction and take control of the energy we are living and creating from. Be sure to stick around for the next episode, a guided meditation using this healing technique.

"BREEAAAAK!" the bike screams - figuratively speaking. With B2X, or bike-to-anything communication, bikes can be aware of other vehicles on the road that are out of the rider's view. And vice versa: car drivers can be warned about bikes they did not notice. Melena gets a demo of this technology, which is ready for use on bikes, cars, and beyond. Bosch eBike Systems team leader Christian Cosyns explains it in detail. Meanwhile, Geoff explores the similarities between connected bikes and bats. Scientist Holger Goerlitz examines their ultrasonic calls. Let's hop on the B2X prototype bike and see how connectivity can help make roads less dangerous.

David Braunstein is the President of TSR and he joins us today to discuss how the organization has been making impacts for decades. From redesigning roads and intersections, to providing data and data collection systems to improve civil engineering decisions, TSR is playing a part.David also discusses how TSR funding helps to enable smaller fleets to gain access to new technologies like Machine Vision or In-Cab cameras to help improve driver safety. And the impacts from these solutions aren't just local. They are global. Learn more on today's episode with David Braunstein.---The Fleet is brought to you by our friends at Lytx. Whether you manage a fleet of five vehicles or 5,000 – Lytx is here to help. Lytx fleet dash cams are powered by best in class machine vision and artificial intelligence designed to help commercial fleets and drivers operate more safely, efficiently, and profitably.Go to Lytx.com/thefleet to learn more today.---The Fleet is created by the team at Mission.

David Braunstein is President of Together for Safer Roads, a global NGO actively raising awareness and pursuing solutions to increase road safety and eliminate traffic injuries, fatalities, and near-misses.  To promote public-private partnerships and social responsibility, TSR is working with corporations, government agencies, and other interested parties to improve the health of all drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians.  They are also executing evidence-based fleet safety solutions. David makes the point that a good percentage of accidents happen in a small number of locations. The key is using data and private sector technology to build smarter infrastructure to reduce the likelihood of traffic-related accidents and deaths and build safer cities. @TSRCoalition #TogetherForSaferRoads #RoadSafety #VisionZero TogetherForSaferRoads.org

Welcome to #StoponRed2021 Week!  This is incorporated into our Defensive Driver Course as "Right of Way" violations.  Since 2008 there have been over 9,000 fatalities related to these violations and in 2019 alone over 800 deaths and approximately 143,000 injuries; that is nearly 400 deaths or injuries every day in 2019 #BytheNumbers.  Please visit the National Coalition for Safer Roads website to see how you can raise awareness and influence safer "on the road" behaviors.

There is no predicting of what may happen on the road. The best thing we can do is take precautionary measures. Taking that to heart, Carey Anne Nadeau founded ODN—a company that builds AI products that augments what insurance carriers know about who their customers are with information about where they drive and their risk exposures on the road. In this episode, Carey explains further to us how they do this and the risk rating methods they use to measure environmental hazards on the road. She also taps into the use of big data, shedding light on how far we've come in terms of the technologies we have to predict and protect ourselves. With technologies like this, the future is bright for the taking. All we need is to take advantage of services like that from Carey's ODN.

Today on Midday, a conversation about trucking safety, and efforts to address the serious and persistent problem of fatal truck crashes on America’s highways. Those crashes take the lives of more than 4,000 Americans every year — more than a dozen fatalities every day. Thousands more are injured. And thousands more are left to grieve for the victims. Brian Kuebler is an investigative reporter at WMAR Television. Nearly ten years ago, he covered the story of Ed Slattery, a government economist whose wife Susan was killed when a tractor-trailer driver who’d fallen asleep at the wheel slammed his rig into her car at 55mph. Slattery’s two young sons, Steven and Matthew, were also in the car and both were severely injured. Steven fully recovered, but Matthew, the younger boy, sustained permanent brain damage. That horrible day marked the beginning of a long and difficult recovery for Matthew, and Ed’s long crusade to improve truck safety, and to advocate for the disabled. Brian wrote a book about Ed’s journey from victim to activist. It’s called The Long Blink: The True Story of Trauma, Forgiveness, and One Man’s Fight for Safer Roads. Brian Kuebler and Ed Slattery join Tom in Studio A. This conversation was livestreamed on WYPR's Facebook page. Watch the video here.
