One in every 770 pedestrians and one in every 500 cyclists experience a high-risk or critical near-miss at intersections across Canada, according to a new study commissioned by CAA.

CAA and Miovision—a traffic data analysis company—watched 20 intersections nationwide between August 2024 and February 2025 using cameras and artificial intelligence.

They logged over 600,000 near-miss moments, indicating that at least three serious incidents occur at a single location every day.

I drive, bike, and walk. It's not that hard to not kill people. The speed limit is a limit not a goal but people always want to rush into their next accident pushing the limit when it should be obvious that its not the time. Slow the fuck down when shit is going on and suddenly you can stop in time. fucking mysterious isn't it? also look around. actual blind people could probably drive better than some of the idots I've seen out there
