Road safety may be a shared responsibility, but the level of responsibility is different for the different road users. That's the message one safe street advocate is trying to get out to the public on social media. Martyn Williams recently wrote a piece for the Chronicle Herald asking "How many more people have to be injured or killed on Halifax Streets?" This was in response to a well-known cyclist who was injured on the Herring Cove Road. That prompted a rally by other riders who wanted to send a message about "critical mass" and appropriate infrastructure. Williams says one challenge in HRM is the 1950's mentality of "focusing on vehicular traffic flow and minimizing delay for drivers even if that threatens the safety of our most vulnerable road users." As he points out about there have been 54 fatalities on roads within Halifax Regional Municipality from 2018 to 2021, including 13 pedestrian fatalities.
