Walk to school is riskiest in Montreal
Walking to school is riskier in Montreal than anywhere else in Quebec – not too surprising, considering there are more people here driving more cars.

What a dumb headline by La Presse. Just think of the thousands of parents reading the headline and not the article ( bumps and bruises, no fatalities) and then instead of letting their kids walk to school exacerbating the problem by driving.

That’s one way of looking at it – another is that by bringing up the issue of the dangers of traffic congestion, more parents might get behind traffic easing initiatives. Everyone thinks they’re a great driver but very few don’t think the rest of the city drives like crackheads – it’s easier to push change if people think there’s a crisis.

@ Ian I don’t think La Presse is looking to get people to look at traffic calming. I think they are pleasing their advertisers.”Get your kid in a Hummer I guarantee they will get to school safely”
