Almost anyone listening today is likely to have an opinion about the topic — namely, how well are bicycles, powered scooters, e-bikes, vehicles and pedestrians co-existing in Davis? In terms of safety, courtesy, observing the rules … and what are the current laws for powered scooters and bikes? Probably not what you think, and the Legislature is looking at changing them. Two people have been hit and killed while riding bicycles in or near Davis so far in 2026. We likely all have stories of seeing drivers who only slow for a stop sign, powered motorbikes in the bike lane as they zip past cars, or people walking into the street while focused on their screens. Hopefully, we've seen people make room for each other on the streets, too. Today we talk about city statistics, the emergence of e-bikes and e-scooters, the laws so far, what the city is doing, and what individuals can do, with Davis Police Chief Todd Henry, and Ryan Chapman, the city's director of public works engineering and transportation.

On a sweltering summer day, most of us notice the obvious effects of heat. We feel slower, more irritable, and eager to escape the sun. What is less obvious is how these same conditions quietly reshape our behavior behind the wheel. A recent study led by Prof. José Ignacio Nazif-Muñoz of the University of Sherbrooke in collaboration with Prof. Jose Guillermo Cedeño Laurent of Rutgers University explores this hidden connection, revealing how heatwaves and urban heat patterns influence road safety across five cities in Québec. The findings offer a timely reminder that climate change is not only an environmental issue but also a public safety concern that touches everyday life in unexpected ways.

According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, there are as many as 430 deaths per year due to wrong-way crashes in the United States alone. That might be hard to believe as for most of us driving on the “right” side of the road is as automatic as brushing your teeth. But there is of a course a divide between countries that drive on the left and those that drive on the right. In ancient times, driving was not really regulated, but it was nevertheless the norm to drive on the left. And it's down in no small part to the fact that the majority of people are right-handed. In ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt, soldiers and cavalry men carried their swords and shields on the left to draw more easily with their right hands when needed. How far back does the tradition of driving on the left go? When did that change in other parts of the world? What about in other countries? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Help us make this podcast better for you! Our quick listener survey is your chance to shape the next season: https://bit.ly/madeforuspod---What happens when women aren't considered in car safety design? For decades, crash test dummies have been modeled on the average male, but studies now show that women are more likely to be injured or killed in certain types of crashes. As the data mounts, so does the urgency to fix the gender gap in car safety.This week, we're joined by Emily Thomas, PhD, Associate Director of Automotive Safety at Consumer Reports, and Astrid Linder, Professor of Traffic Safety at the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, who developed the world's first crash test dummy representing an average woman. Together, we'll explore what it will take to design truly inclusive and safe cars.The conversation covers:Why women face higher injury risks in car crashesWhat's involved in designing a female crash test dummyHow the shift to driverless cars presents a chance to correct past biases---ResourcesAstrid Linder's researchUniversity of Virginia study U.S. Government Accountability Office recommendations---About Professor Astrid LinderAstrid Linder is Professor of Traffic Safety at Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, VTI, and an Adjunct Professor of Injury Prevention at Chalmers University.

In this episode of Traffic Safety Thursday on The Valley Today, host Janet Michael and Lt. Warren Gosnell from the Frederick County Sheriff's Office cover a variety of topics centered around traffic safety and local issues. They examined the rationale behind school closures during inclement weather conditions. Goz explained the complexities and safety considerations that go into these decisions, emphasizing the importance of looking beyond individual perspectives to understand the broader implications. Janet asked a specific legal question about 1950s cars without seatbelts, and Goz clarified that vehicles manufactured before a certain date are grandfathered in and not required to have seatbelts. They also discussed the enforcement of speed limits in school zones, particularly focusing on what happens if the school zone lights come on while driving through. Goz elaborated on the procedures officers follow to ensure fairness in enforcement. They touched on the purpose and functionality of speed signs, which collect data to help manage and maintain traffic safety efficiently. Announcements were made about the logistics of the upcoming Middletown Christmas Parade, including street closures and timings. Finally, Goz provided some crucial traffic safety reminders for the upcoming holiday season, urging everyone to slow down, remain vigilant, and avoid distractions to ensure they arrive at their destinations safely.
