Biden administration introduces plan to lower speed limits and expand bike lanes in bid to reach 'zero' traffic fatalities - TheBlaze

The transportation secretary's plan to reach "zero roadway fatalities" is to spend $5 billion in grants and issue guidance encouraging cities to lower speed limits, adopt safer road design by creating dedicated bike and bus lanes, and improve street lighting and crosswalks. Funding for the grants was included in the $1.2 trillion infrastructure law signed by President Joe Biden, which also included $4 billion in funding for the Highway Safety Improvement Program, DOT said.

Lower speed limits increase pollution. That was proven in the Houston metro area. Bike lanes cause more wrecks. Neither contribute to anything but pandering money for politicians.
