The news organizations will reveal explosive emails detailing how trucking industry officials pressured Department of Transportation regulators to alter a report that recommended a nationwide mandate for guards specifically designed to protect pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists. The guards are already used around the world and in several U.S. cities.
It’s all good as long as drivers aren’t inconvenienced very slightly /s

Last mile delivery should be done by smaller trucks
in my city in Europe they are experimenting the last km by boat then bike. Well I’m quite sure the boat is probably furnished by trucks before, but it’s a progress i guess
Must be nice to have politicians who try new things and then make evidence based decisions…
In Berlin I enjoyed watching the small delivery trucks rolling all over the place. A bunch of the mail is also delivered by trikes. They just pedal around the city doing mail delivery work on these large yellow trikes with big cargo bays. It was phenomenal, quiet, and calm.
Well that’s infuriating…
I was injured by a US DOT truck in a collision. These safety measures really need to be enacted!
