That's great!

My theory on car/motorcycle deaths is that a lot more people are running blatantly red lights. Not where yellow teases red. Solid red for a minute where people just Hail Mary it through the intersection and then get obliterated.

The solution is more red light cams, automated ticketing cams on buses for cars doing illegal maneuvers in bus and bike lanes, and better enforcement of traffic safety rules.

Simultaneously, slowing down cars with narrower roads, speed humps or bumps, and turning many roads into Canadian-style green streets for bikes and pedestrians eases congestion and makes things safer.
