The document discusses the concept of strict liability in civil law as it applies to different road users. Brenda Mitchell, founder of Cycle Law Scotland, believes introducing strict liability could encourage more cycling and safer roads. Strict liability means those in control of a dangerous activity would be liable for injuries caused, regardless of fault. Most countries apply strict liability to road use based on a hierarchy of vulnerability. The document reviews the history and application of strict liability in Scots law and other areas, and calls for further research on how it could work with a road user hierarchy in Scotland.
Road Share - Case for Stricter liability (with notes) - Dec 2014 Parliamentar...Rod Mitchell
Brenda Mitchell, founder of specialist law firm, Cycle Law Scotland and also the Road Share Campaign presents her arguments for stricter (presumed) liability in Civil Law at a Parliamentary Reception hosted by MSP Alison Johnstone at Holyrood.
Brenda Mitchell, specialist cycling Lawyer at Cycle Law Scotland and founder of the Road Share Campaign presents the case for the Scottish Government to introduce presumed liability in Civil Law to protect vulnerable road users and help bring about a mutual respect amongst all road users and a change in culture.
The document discusses lessons learned from the privatization of UK railways in the 1990s. It outlines both successes, such as increased ridership and revenues, and challenges, including underinvestment in infrastructure maintenance that led to safety issues. A key problem was the separation of track ownership from train operations, which increased costs and reduced coordination. The document argues that less regulatory interference and a more integrated private model could have achieved privatization's benefits while avoiding its major downsides.

This document summarizes arguments against Charter Amendment 29 in Seattle, which aims to address homelessness. It argues that CA 29 will:
1) Make it harder to clear encampments by requiring a complex "balancing test" for each individual camper before clearing an encampment.
2) Violate good governance principles by amending the city charter, which should define government structure not policy, and lock 12% of the city budget into homelessness services indefinitely.
3) Have numerous unintended consequences by invalidating existing laws and setting legal precedents around issues like land use and law enforcement without understanding the full implications.

Road Safety Foundation: Making Road Safety PayAgeas UK
The document recommends that the UK Department for Transport develop a 10-year "Towards Zero" strategy to reduce road deaths and injuries, with performance goals and tracking costs for individual authorities. It also recommends establishing a task force of stakeholders to provide leadership. The strategy should be published mid-decade.
2014 Keynote Remarks @ UMTRI Global Symposium For Connected VehiclesJason Melvin
The document discusses the potential for connected vehicle technology to reduce motor vehicle crashes and save lives. It notes that crashes are a major public health threat and that technologies allowing vehicles and infrastructure to communicate have the potential to make driving safer by helping drivers avoid accidents even if others on the road are distracted or conditions are poor. The document outlines the US Department of Transportation's efforts to work with international partners and the automotive industry to advance connected vehicle research and deploy the technology through pilots and standards to realize this life-saving potential.
The document proposes the Dear Driver project to improve communication between cyclists and drivers in urban areas. It aims to address the challenges of effective listening during near-accident situations. The solution involves a Dear Driver letter that cyclists can give to drivers to diffuse hostility and promote understanding. It also plans videos modeling polite exchanges and an online platform for further discussion. The goal is to minimize listening challenges like a lack of time and space during incidents and a history of animosity, in order to foster mutual understanding between cyclists and drivers.

Strategic Road Safety Plan Review - Questionnaire to WRA Members - Finland Kl...Jaakko Klang
This document provides information from Jaakko Klang of Finland in response to questions about road safety. It discusses Finland's approach to identifying high-risk locations, ranking them publicly, evaluating safety schemes economically, and addressing issues with motorcycle, cyclist, and pedestrian safety. Engineering measures installed to improve safety for these vulnerable road users include traffic calming, separation of motorized and non-motorized traffic, lowered speed limits, clearer markings, and infrastructure designed around users' needs and abilities. The response highlights ongoing issues and the need for further education and enforcement efforts.
Vision Zero is a traffic safety policy that aims to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries. It originated in Sweden in the late 1990s and has since spread to over 20 U.S. cities. This document provides guidance on fundamental principles, policies, and practices needed to implement a strong Vision Zero commitment in the U.S. It outlines core expectations, including acknowledging that crashes are preventable, prioritizing systemic changes over individual responsibility, and ensuring mobility safety for all road users. The goal is to support policymakers, professionals and advocates in translating growing enthusiasm for Vision Zero into lasting institutional changes that save lives.
The document discusses Copenhagen's successful policies for increasing bicycle transportation, including developing a comprehensive bicycle infrastructure network, prioritizing safety improvements, and promoting a bicycle-friendly culture.

The document concludes by outlining lessons for other cities from Copenhagen's approach to enacting public policies that support sustainable transportation goals through increased bicycle use.
Cycle Accidents and the Case for Strict LiabilityRod Mitchell
This document discusses cycle accidents in Scotland and makes the case for strict liability. It notes that the most common causes of cycle accidents are junctions, roundabouts, dooring incidents, and not having enough space on the road. The document advocates for a concept of strict or no-fault liability for those in control of dangerous sources. It outlines actions like researching liability laws in other countries and developing an educational campaign to reduce cyclist injuries. Contact information is provided for an organization working on this issue.
Beyond Traffic: US DOT's 30 Year Framework for the FutureLudovic Privat
This document provides an introduction to a draft report titled "Beyond Traffic: Trends and Choices 2045". It summarizes that the report analyzes current transportation trends and projects what the system will look like in 30 years if changes are not made. It finds that population growth, changing travel patterns, and increased freight volume will overwhelm the existing system by 2045 if no new strategies are implemented. The report is intended to spur national discussion on critical policy choices regarding how people and goods will move in the future, and how to best align decisions and funding to adapt the system. It does not prescribe specific solutions, but rather presents data to frame important issues that need addressing.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

The case for Strict Liability
1. Brenda
Mitchell
is
the
founder
and
lead
solicitor
at
Cycle
Law
Scotland.
She
is
a
lawyer,
driver,
motorcyclist
and
cyclist
and
has
exposure
over
a
25
year
period
to
road
traffic
collisions
their
causes
and
the
pain
and
suffering
that
arises.
Cycle
Law
Scotland
believe
it
is
part
of
their
responsibility
to
seek
improvement
in
the
civil
law
as
it
applies
to
a
hierarchy
of
road
use
and
to
push
forward
with
a
campaign
to
introduce
the
concept
of
strict
liability,
in
a
form
to
be
agreed,
with
the
ulDmate
aim
of
encouraging
more
individuals
to
take
up
cycling
and
for
the
roads
to
be
safer
for
all
road
users.
1
2. There
is
confusion
over
the
terminology
“strict
liability”.
Road
users
need
to
know
specifically
what
it
means
and
how
it
will
affect
them
as
a
road
user.
HISTORY
LESSON
One
of
the
remarkable
achievements
of
Roman
Jurisprudence
was
the
introducDon
and
development
of
a
noDon
of
fault
or
culpability.
They
also
more
importantly
made
an
enDre
branch
of
their
schemes
and
obligaDons
in
order
to
accommodate
instances
of
no
fault
liability
–
where
a
person
was
held
liable
not
for
his
failure
to
display
the
diligence
of
a
reasonable
man,
but
because
he
was
in
control
of
a
potenDal
source
of
danger
to
other
people’s
lives,
health
and
property.
There
has
been
a
general
acceptance
of
the
concept
of
strict
liability
in
Scots
Law
over
history.
Examples
that
we
are
more
familiar
with
include:
Workplace
Regula.ons-‐
RegulaDons
that
came
into
force
on
1st
January
1993
introduced
a
raX
of
obligaDons
on
Employers
including
strict
liability
for
certain
breaches.
From
introducDon
in
a
10
year
period
there
was
a
30%
fall
in
work
place
accidents.
Strict
liability
also
exists
in
consumer
protecDon
laws
and
control
of
animals
regulaDons.
2
3. Most
countries
in
the
world
have
a
strict
liability
system
in
civil
law
as
it
applies
to
road
use.
What
underpins
the
system
is
the
noDon
of
vulnerability
and
its
applicaDon
to
road
and
vehicle
use.
Road
Peace
provided
interesDng
confirmaDon
that
China
has
had
a
strict
liability
regime
in
place
for
the
past
10
years
and
the
strict
liability
rules
in
relaDon
to
road
hierarchy
can
be
found
in
Asia,
India,
Bangladesh
and
even
Vietnam.
The
quesDon
to
pose
is,
why
is
the
concept
of
Strict
Liability
acceptable
in
most
European
countries
and
others
around
the
world
and
yet
in
Scotland
we
struggle
with
the
concept
of
hierarchy
of
road
use
whereby
motor
vehicles
have
responsibility
to
cyclists
and
pedestrians
and
cyclists
in
turn
have
a
responsibility
to
pedestrians?
3
4. Caps
(2010)
laid
down
ambiDous
targets
including
a
desire
to
see
10%
of
all
journeys
undertaken
in
Scotland
by
2020
by
bicycle.
ACTION
POINT
12
To
undertake
a
legislaDve
search
to
reveal
the
operaDon
of
liability
laws
and
how
they
work
in
other
countries
ACTION
POINT
13
To
try
and
idenDfy
what
kind
of
hierarchy
might
be
established
It
seems
that
liele
has
been
done
in
the
past
3
years
although
it
is
hoped
that
following
the
CAPS
refresh
we
will
see
the
result
of
any
research
undertaken
in
relaDon
to
acDon
point
12.
I
believe
it
may
well
be
confirmed
that
a
change
in
the
civil
law
is
not
a
reserved
issue.
It
is
worth
noDng
that
although
liele
progress
has
been
made
in
relaDon
to
acDon
point
12
and
13,
the
single
and
most
factor
keeping
Scots
from
cycling
is
the
fear
and
the
fear
is
that
the
roads
are
unsafe.
We
must
consider
whether
that
is
a
valid
well-‐founded
fear.
4
5. There
is
no
doubt
that
public
opinion
is
divided.
Many
will
ask
what
is
wrong
with
a
fault
based
system.
Many
would
shout
that
it
is
not
fair
that
we
all
share
the
road
therefore
we
should
all
be
subjected
to
the
same
rules.
There
are
views
that
cyclists
are
lawless
free
riders
in
the
high
constrained
and
highly
taxed
world
of
the
motorists.
Many
motorists
believe
that
cyclists
don’t
pay
road
tax
but
in
truth
road
tax
was
abolished
in
1937.
Many
argue
that
cyclist
don’t
pay
insurance.
Many
cyclists
however
do
have
insurance
through
membership
bodies
such
as
CTC
and
BriDsh
Cycling.
Others
are
covered
under
their
household
contents
insurance
policy
for
public
liability.
It
should
be
noted
that
the
insurance
premiums
paid
by
cyclists
is
generally
between
£20-‐40
per
annum
because
they
are
deemed
to
be
low
risk.
If
all
cyclists
were
to
be
insured
on
a
compulsory
basis
it
makes
you
wonder
where
all
the
premium
income
would
go
and
whether
insurance
companies
would
lower
premiums
for
motorists
who
take
to
cycling.
The
UK
Department
of
Transport
paper
published
in
2010
(the
same
year
as
CAPS)
painted
a
rather
bleak
picture.
Evidence
suggests
there
is
a
failure
in
culture
of
road
sharing
and
the
lack
of
consensus
of
whether
and
how
cyclists
should
be
on
the
road.
Motoring
journalists
and
the
motoring
industry
have
argued
that
it
is
a
level
playing
field,
that
we
are
all
equal,
that
we
are
all
road
users
and
we
should
all
be
bound
by
the
same
liability
laws.
Are
we
seriously
going
to
accept
that
it
is
a
level
playing
field?
5
6. Strict
Liability
is
an
emoDve
issue.
However,
we
must
conDnue
to
push
ahead
with
the
noDon
of
the
introducDon
of
strict
liability
into
the
civil
law
in
Scotland.
One
MSP
recently
noted
that
the
laws
around
strict
liability
should
be
looked
at
as
we
work
to
make
Scotland
a
cycle
friendly
naDon.
If
it
can
be
shown
to
help
improve
road
safety,
Scotland
should
not
be
afraid
to
take
the
lead.
Another
observer
and
broadcaster,
Lesley
Riddoch,
confirmed
that
Europe
had
massively
increased
cycle
use
by
building
cycle
paths
and
separaDng
road
users.
There
is
a
culture
of
treaDng
cyclists
with
kid
gloves.
Liability
laws
have
contributed
to
that
culture
and
have
altered
driver
behaviour
so
profoundly.
Just
like
seatbelts,
we
will
look
back
and
wonder
why
we
accepted
the
current
situaDon
in
the
years
to
come.
6
7. What
can
we
achieve?
In
many
ways
what
has
been
achieved
already
is
posiDve.
We
have
removed
the
issue
of
strict
liability
from
the
back
burner
and
brought
it
to
the
fore.
LegislaDon
is
the
way
forward
and
we
believe
is
it
competent
for
a
members
bill
to
be
introduced.
We
need
to
decide
on
the
frame
work.
How
strict
is
strict
for
example.
France
adopts
a
very
strict
policy
of
strict
liability.
The
Netherlands
have
a
form
of
50/50
and
in
the
UK
we
seem
to
be
soXening
up
to
the
idea
of
presumed
liability.
UlDmately
it
is
low
cost
and
easily
achievable.
