"The implication of the term suggests an inherent weakness or deficiency on the part of the road user labeled as vulnerable and this may limit consideration of other factors that may have caused their increase in risk exposure, such as the behavior of other road users or poor infrastructure."
Do you have a preferred way of describing VRUs?
@owen @bikepedantic traffic Engineers should refer to drivers as patsies and everyone else as just victims.
🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking it maybe makes more sense to use a description that's focused on drivers -- normalizing everyone else and distinguishing drivers. Something like "accountable users"
@owen it works when describing that particular aspect of mixing people in public space.
but it's increasingly being used generally, like a replacement for "alternative transportation."
@bikepedantic mm sure.
I was thinking of something describes the power and responsibility differences between users.
