In the coming months, Edmonton transit riders might see fare turnstiles pop up at several LRT stations. In late 2023, City Council voted in favour of research and planning around the viability of such a pilot project, with a report due for review late this summer. We had the opportunity to contribute our thoughts on this issue at our June meeting, and we have some significant concerns about it. We’re especially concerned that it doesn’t actually improve safety, and at best, may only improve perceptions of safety for some people, while creating a more hostile environment for others. Indeed, similar analysis was done in Calgary, with the conclusion that fare gates would not improve transit safety. What are your thoughts on the topic? Do you feel safe using public transit in Edmonton? Do you think fare gates could provide an additional layer of security? Do you have any concerns about this proposal? #yeg #yegtransit #yegwomen

I will Take that!!! The Traffic Management Company tell us why they used CoverMe - no ladders required at a Take That concert last weekend!! Sophie Merivale, Senior Operations Manager said….. "When delivering complex stadia concert transport plans in congested residential areas, we are very conscious to reduce impact on those affected. There is a clear public safety and counter terrorism need to close the road for when crowds are leaving but we need to keep the closure periods to an absolute minimum. With the added issue of a traffic signal level crossing in one of our crucial junctions, using the CoverMe bags allows the signals to be taken out of service in under 2 minutes whilst enabling the signals for the level crossing aspect to remain live. This could not have been achieved in any other way. Without the speed of the CoverMe bag solution, the road closure disruption would have been longer lasting and more disruptive and cost the event organiser also more in delivery of the transport plan.

Did you know that our geofencing feature can help you reduce unauthorised vehicle use? According to Safe Work Australia, the construction industry in Australia is the industry with the highest number of serious accidents. Using a GPS system with an integrated geofencing feature in more dangerous areas can help mitigate the risk of accidents. Geofencing is invaluable when it comes to safety, theft, unauthorised vehicle use and also routing. Read on: https://vzbiz.biz/3Wbd6y9 #Geofencing #Thefts

🚅 Managing #intrusion in #Railways effectively requires a combination of advanced technologies. Trespassing by people, often due to curiosity, vandalism, up tp criminal intent, especially in tunnels, raise #safety risks and generate operational disruptions and infrastructure damages. #Avantgarde-IR, properly configured, is able to detect tunnel trespassing activities by filtering train passages triggering an alarm only when a real threat is happening! #PIDS #safetyapplications #madeinitaly

https://cx.page/zww1up Raising speed limits on highways could lead to more crashes on nearby roads, according to new research by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. This “spillover effect” creates unintended safety hazards for local communities that might not be involved in the decision-making process to raise the posted speed limit on a nearby highway. According to NHTSA, speeding is a significant safety concern, contributing to almost one-third of road fatalities in the past 20 years.

Protecting pedestrians requires the right tools and analyses to understand the problems a city needs to fix. Building new roads isn't always the right solution. Here are a few things we know: distracted males between 41-64 years of age are more likely to be fatal/severely injured in dark-not-lighted conditions, crashes with pedestrians using technology are common at intersections, distractions from pets or other people are strongly associated with crossing roadways in rural areas, and conversations between pedestrians standing by roadways without traffic controls increases vulnerability. PED360 is a program that can analyze your traffic profiles and provide the details for more effective educational, design and enforcement strategies to improve pedestrian safety.
