11 road deaths in 4 days
A person was killed in a crash in Concord on Tuesday (7/16/24) morning. There have been at least 11 deaths in four days on New Hampshire roadways, of which included an 8-year-old in Laconia. There is no doubt that something MUST be done to recover from this epidemic of road deaths. Whether in Manchester, Concord, Belmont, Alton, Loudon, Jaffrey, Hampton Falls, Gilford, or anywhere in the state, no one deserves to die when going anywhere. We must ensure that our roads are safe for everyone, no matter their chosen transportation method. Traffic Violence is not a partisan issue. Traffic Violence is not only a city issue. Traffic Violence affects every community in New Hampshire. Traffic Violence affects everyone. Traffic Violence must be stopped.
While this is not only a bicycle issue, it is an issue that affects us more than most other road users as we are more vulnerable than other methods.
One step we must take today is urging our elected officials to adopt policies that promote Vision Zero, the goal of zero traffic deaths. We can not let another person die on New Hampshire's roads. mbiketa.com/vision-zero-nh
