Report Transportation Dangers<\/h2>\n
The City of Boston has set up a mapping system where you can report safety issues<\/a> in the transportation system. We have already used this to mark intersections where traffic gridlocks, where walk lights don't last long enough, and where walk lights are missing. <\/p>\n You can also consult this map to find places where you might want to exercise a bit more caution as you travel. (You might also take a look at this map<\/a> that shows where accidents have already been reported by police.) Both are part of the city's Vision Zero program<\/a>.<\/p>\n If your concern needs a more immediate correction, use the 311 system by calling 311 on your phone, reporting the problem on the 311 phone app<\/a>, sending a tweet to @BOS311,<\/a> or reporting through the website<\/a>. <\/p>\n To learn more about how you can become a better defender of pedestrians, consider attending one of the Ped101 training sessions.<\/a><\/p>\n WalkBoston<\/a> says:<\/p>\n "This session is helpful if you're interested in learning about: <\/strong><\/p>\n walkability, urbanism & the associated lingo (what's a "tight turning radius"?),<\/p>\n<\/li>\n making neighborhoods safer for people walking & running,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n how you can advocate for change in your own community."<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Take advantage of this opportunity to stand up for those who walk around the city. <\/p>\n Additional Reading: Make Walking THE Priority<\/a> where you will find a link to a thoughtful piece on the mistaken priority system<\/a> used by our transportation planners and a much better priority approach.<\/p>\n Do you have an Amazon Gift Certificate to use?
