Clark County Solid Waste is joining Washington State's "Secure Your Loads for Safer Roads" campaign throughout June. Unsecured loads cause more than 300 crashes annually statewide and contributed to over 150,000 pounds of roadside litter collected in Clark County in 2025. Fines can reach $5,000. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/county-public-works-reminds-residents-to-secure-loads-before-hauling-to-reduce-dangerous-roadside-debris-and-litter/ #SecureYourLoad #ClarkCounty #PublicSafety #RoadSafety #WashingtonState #LitterPrevention #ClarkCountyPublicWorks

In this episode of My Role in the Safe System, we're joined by Eric Richardson – one of the most influential voices in global fleet and urban road safety. As New York City's former Deputy Chief Fleet Officer, Eric helped push Vision Zero from slogan to reality, rolling out safer vehicles, telematics and sideguards across one of the world's busiest city fleets. Now Road Safety Advisor to Together for Safer Roads and Strategic Mobility Advisor at Windels Marx, he explains how big fleets, smart data and public–private partnerships can slash risk on busy urban networks. We explore why boards need to treat road safety as a core business performance issue, not just a compliance tick‑box, and what it really takes to build a “zero harm” safety culture. Eric shares powerful examples from major operators like PepsiCo and UPS, shows how smaller fleets can tap into TSR's tools and support, and reflects on what New York's Vision Zero journey can teach cities worldwide. We also look ahead at AI-enabled safety tech, intelligent speed assistance and the Safe System ingredients that give him real optimism for the next decade.

Statistics show that thousands of people lose their lives each year due to pothole-related accidents. After coming across similar reports, Bengaluru-based engineer Saurabh Kumar chose to act rather than just complain. He left his job to tackle the issue head-on and has since helped make roads safer by filling thousands of potholes, reducing the risk of accidents. But his vision went further as he started developing roads that are not only safer, but also sustainable, cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

The Pedal Power Association has appointed attorneys to provide oversight on the case of Idries Sheriff, the cyclist tragically killed on 16 December, the Day of Reconciliation, after being struck by a BMW driver allegedly under the influence in Camps Bay. Idries, a father, husband and well-known member of the cycling community, was riding with friends at the time. Paramedics arrived at the scene but were unable to save him. The accused appeared in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court yesterday on charges of culpable homicide, reckless driving and driving under the influence, with bail set at R15 000 and the matter postponed to 22 April 2026. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with the cycling community gathering outside the court for a ride in and moment of silence in support of a petition that has now gathered over 3 000 verified signatures. Western Cape Premier Alan Winde also spoke out on social media calling for no bail and swift justice for the driver. Neil Robinson, CEO of the Pedal Power Association, joins Lester Kiewit on the show to share his thoughts on the court ruling and the ongoing efforts to make roads safer for cyclists.

James Luckhurst sits down with Tom Duckham, Chief Executive of Redspeed International, for a conversation about technology, enforcement, career journeys, and what it really takes to make a lasting difference in road safety.Tom's road into the industry was anything but conventional. As he puts it, a youth spent as a motorcycle dispatch rider meant he “saw things… that I wish I could unsee now”, experiences that quietly planted the seed for a lifelong commitment to reducing death and injury on the roads.From his early days installing London's first speed cameras in the early 1990s, through the era of camera partnerships, media battles, and evolving public attitudes, Tom talks openly about the challenges and misconceptions surrounding enforcement. Throughout, Tom stresses the importance of partnership over product, summed up in Redspeed's new strapline: “Safer Roads, Smarter Solutions, Protecting Communities.”Find out more about Project EDWARD here.Welcome to the Project EDWARD Podcast, where we explore data-driven actions for safe mobility.

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.
