Buying locally-produced food eliminates long-distance transportation costs. Driving a combustion vehicle further to get it may cancel out trucking fuel savings. If possible use an e-assist cargo cycle on a protected cycle network to pick up groceries. Or have them delivered by an electric vehicle.

Better yet, instantly impound vehicles that speed and/or run red lights. Exemptions when roads are unexpectedly slippery due to ice, diesel spills, etc.

Inventory taxes are often a big part of this. When a state imposes inventory taxes, merchandise is warehoused in buildings in adjacent states that don't have inventory taxes. Result is longer commutes for warehouse workers, more freight trucks on highways, more diesel consumption, more death.
It would cost a fortune to put a cop on every corner. There are better things to spend the money on, including providing cops with advanced paramedic training and devices like The Grappler.
Protected cycle lanes that are wide enough to accommodate bikes two abreast are also wide enough for child trailers, cargo trikes, cargo quads, ambulances, and weatherproof velomobiles.
Weatherproof autonomous pedal car taxis provide first & last mile access to nearest train station. High-speed trains inside elevated tubes prevent collisions with wildlife & people who aren't paying attention. Many drivers & pedestrians are distracted by alcohol, cannabis, meds, phones & earbuds.
The best traffic control systems use data centers to co-ordinate traffic lights, with fallback to simple local timer mode when communication links fail. Better yet when retractable bollards, etc. are automatically deployed to stop road racers, red-light runners, and other reckless drivers.
Speed cameras save lives by getting reckless drivers off the road. Data centers save lives too by reducing the need to drive. By ordering groceries to be delivered instead of driving to pick them up, for example. Especially for elderly drivers. Or tired drivers of any age. Also telemedicine & AI.
Politicians who didn't build protected cycling networks or control vicious dogs were villains. Bus driver could have recorded the near miss then reported it to his union & management if he supported protected cycling networks for his kids, himself & the public. Some bus drivers are also cyclists.
Autonomous taxis of all sizes - including autonomous ultralight weatherproof single seat or tandem e-assist pedal cars narrow enough to fit on protected cycling networks would help public safety and energy efficiency - but many progressives oppose progress.
Agreed. An Irish pub owner said he's looking forward to autonomous vehicles so his customers can get home safely at low cost. It's a start. Doesn't protect them from liver rot & brain rot though. Autonomous mobility scooters are deployed in airports. Autonomous weatherproof mobility scooters next.

It’s a squirter, guys. That’s what we’re calling a lethal strike on an unfortified unit that intelligence warned about days in advance. I’m sure the polygraph tests for staff will totally fix the lack of armor. Real top-tier military stuff. 📦
