It should really be more than just a symbol. Everytime a cyclist is killed, the gov should take these actions:

  • increase all car costs across the board by 1% per dead cyclist. That is, cost of car registration, emissions tests, cost of public parking, license renewal fees, etc.
  • convert streetside parking to a cycling path… one unplanned rework per death. Planned improvements don’t count.
  • cost of traffic fines increase by 1% per death.

That is what should happen.

    Hi from Colorado, USA. We also have ghost bikes. I love your list! I’d like to contribute a few more:

    • One new raised crosswalk every time a driver passes too closely.
    • Traffic tickets are increased in proportion to the amount of pedestrians and cyclists that are present at the time of the violation. i.e. City ticket is way more expensive than motorway ticket. Schooltime/rushour ticket is more expensive than 3:00 ticket. Do not get a ticket for driving too fast past a concert that just ended. Drivers should be punished harsher when they are guests in spaces intended for people and bikes.

    Edited: didn’t catch the tone right, it’s a serious topic and my frustration led to some “out-of-line solutions”
