Practice questions

1 of 10Practice questions for this set
At a community forum, a student speaker argues: "The city should build a protected bike lane near our school. It will increase safety and encourage more students to bike. According to the city transportation department, streets with protected bike lanes have 20–40% fewer injury crashes than similar streets without them. Our school's arrival survey (n=480) found 22% of students live within 2 miles, but only 4% bike, and many wrote 'traffic feels unsafe.' If we build a protected lane, more students will bike, which will reduce car line congestion." Which evidence is most relevant to the claim that a protected bike lane would increase safety?
