Integrating cycling into city and transport planning is key. Along with city-wide cycling infrastructure, policies to reduce vehicle use (with high parking fees), reducing speeds, etc. Cities like #Pune have made @CyclePlanPune and set-up a Cycle Department #BringBackCycles

Yes! If Pune core city has great walkable & cycle-safe roads, good bus connectivity, shuttles, then people coming to core city could leave their bike or car behind! @harshadsustrans @rgadgi @sujitjp @ravisinha_india @vpshali25

A4 With #COVID19 less noise, less pollution on roads is great but less traffic without speed enforcement can be deadly for pedestrians, cyclists; need safer infra, better enforcement #roadsafety #saferoadsindia @PMCPune @PuneCityTraffic @CMOMaharashtra @CMOGuj @mahilahsg
Q4: How has road use changed since #COVID19 — and what are the challenges to making progress on #roadsafety, given the severity of the pandemic? #saferoadsIndia #COVID19India #BuildBackBetter

Not only central & state, but also local government and Traffic Police have a key role! Enforcement to reduce speed is urgently needed.#saferoadsIndia #roadsafety #BuildBackBetter @MORTHIndia @nitin_gadkari @MORTHRoadSafety @cotgujarat @AhmedabadPolice
Q2: @MoRTH now that one year had passed since MVAA 2019 is notified what are immediate steps that central, state and @MoHUA city governments can take to strengthen #roadsafety in India — and save lives? #SafeRoadsIndia #BuildBackBetter

A4: Speeding vehicles are a danger for cyclists! Speed control of bikes & cars is essential for safe cycling & walking @PMCPune @CPPuneCity @CMOMaharashtra @MoHUA_India @RockyMtnInst @itdpindia @prancd @harshadsustrans @PuneCityLife #saferoadsindia #COVID19India #BuildBackBetter
Roads are quieter, less busy - it's a relief! But no congestion also means an invitation to speeding ... which is deadly, especially impacting pedestrians #saferoadsIndia #COVID19India #BuildBackBetter @TrafficATCC , @AhdTraffic @FollowSPTM @PuneCityTraffic @cotguj
