Talking Headways Podcast: 'Normal' is Not Correct, Someone Died Here - Streetsblog USA
Briefly

Kevin Krizek and Tila Duhaime propose the 'Emergency Streets' protocol, which aims to change the response to fatal crashes by requiring drivers to reduce their speed by 20 mph within a half-mile radius of an accident site for two weeks. This initiative seeks to raise awareness about traffic deaths and encourage safer driving behavior, arguing that simply educating drivers on the risks may not be enough. The idea is to address the kinetic energy involved in crashes by modifying driver behavior through community-based strategies, not enforcement.
After a fatal crash, the Emergency Streets protocol proposes that drivers reduce their speed by 20 mph for two weeks to minimize kinetic energy in the area.
Tila Duhaime emphasizes the need for a cultural shift in response to accidents, advocating for a systematic approach to alert drivers about traffic deaths.
