# g0v Pedestrian Rights Project g0v 行人權利專案 - "The Cone Club" 三角錐俱樂部

Walking in Taipei is dangerous, because of cars and scooters. This is partially because cars and scooters often break the law without repercussion, but also because of bad road design. My project goal is to quickly make Taipei much safer for pedestrians.

在台北走路很危險。那是因為汽車和大車兩個都常常違法，還有因為路的設計不好。我的專案目標是讓台北的行人可以更安全地走在路上。

My plan falls into three categories.

我的計畫有三個類別

1. Data collection, organization, and presentation

2. Political engagement

3. Direct action

1.收集、整理，和呈現數據
2.讓政府做事
3.直接行動

I'll give a quick explanation of the three categories.

我會簡單介紹這三個類別：

Category 1 includes things like using open source traffic collision data to create heat maps that people can use to see how dangerous roads near their homes are. It also includes creating a method for people to report problem areas near them, that we can then go and document ourselves. Data collection could also simply be taking a video recording of walking on a pedestrian sidewalk to show how often cars come too close, too fast, or how often pedestrians are forced to walk into the road to get around illegally parked cars. This category also includes data presentation, which could take the form of maps, blog posts, instagram posts, or short form media like reels.

類別一：用政府的數據做交通事故熱點圖的網站。我還要想一個辦法讓人回報身邊有問題的區域，我們可以實際去做紀錄。
收集數據還可以包括在在人行道錄影，看看車離人行道太近，或是開得太快的頻率。這個類別還有呈現數據，呈現這些數據的方式有：地圖，文章，ＩＧ貼文和短影音。

Category 2 involves pressuring the government to improve our pedestrian safety for us. Examples of this include using data we gather in category 1 to present to a local politician an area that needs to be improved. Because politicians won't act unless it benefits them, this category could also include petitions, letter-writing campaigns, phone-calling campaigns, and other strategies of making politicians feel like they should do their job.

類別二：讓政府改善行人安全。例如：跟當地的政府報告類別一收集到的數據。呈現需要改善的區域。因為政府不會輕易行動，因此，我們也可以做其他的事，比如說：請願 、寫信、打電話給政府，和其他類似的活動，像是對政府施壓。

Category 3 will be the most fun. Some fun and easy direct action could be simply putting out traffic cones near crosswalks to "calm" traffic (slow it down). We can also have "cone squads" that spend an afternoon in an area where cars commonly illegally park on pedestrian walkways, and then create "cone pathways" around the cars, creating a safe walkway for pedestrians and forcing the car to wait for us to let them drive away. I believe we can get some interesting social media content this way as well, which can feed into category 1.

類別三：應該是最好玩的部分，我們可以在路上放交通三角錐，讓車速變慢，我們也可以組一個 ‘ 錐子小隊 ’ 在車輛經常違規停在人行道的地方，用交通三角錐在這些車周圍做一條新的人行道，讓行人安全走路，也讓車輛必須要禮讓行人。我覺得我們還可以做很有意思的社群媒體內容。這樣子內容也可以使用在類別一。

For the hackathon, I would like to gather contact information of interested people, and add us to a g0v slack channel or line group to continue organizing our efforts. Depending on the skills of the interested people, we could begin work on a traffic incident heat map webapp, or, brainstorm direct action methods, or, brainstorm social media activity.

在黑客松，我要先收集有意願想幫忙的人的聯絡資料，然後把大家放在一個slack或是Line群組。會根據每個人擅長的領域來決定怎麼分工。比如說：我們可以開始開發交通熱點圖的webapp，或是一起腦力激盪直接行動的辦法，還有一起討論社群媒體活動。

Please don't worry about my mandarin ability, we can work together to communicate, and we can always use google translate as a last resort.

請別擔心我的中文能力，我們可以一起合作溝通，要是有需要，我們還有google translate可以幫忙。

## Idea Brainstorming 創意腦力激盪

### During Hackathon

* Create a spreadsheet of direct actions charting ideas, their legality, their level of escalation, and their filmability and entertainment level
* Work on a traffic incident webapp map
* research and identity bad laws to lobby against, e.g. if Taipei has any rules such as taizhong's fines for late bus drivers
* brainstorm objectives such as longer pedestrian crossing times, alleys closed to cars, etc
* research relevant politicians and political offices

### 黑客松期間
* 創建一個電子表格，列出行動計劃，並標註其合法性、升級程度，以及其拍攝性和娛樂價值
開發交通事故網頁應用程式地圖
* 研究並辨識需要遊說反對的壞法律，例如台北是否有類似台中的規定，對遲到的公車司機罰款
* 腦力激盪目標，例如延長行人過馬路的時間、將巷弄封閉以禁止汽車進入等
研究相關的政治人物和政治機構

### Specific Actions the Group Can Take

* Memorial analysis of deadly collisions: when deadly pedestrian-involved collisions occur, we gather all available information, including pictures and video of the location, to determine what infrastructure failures contributed to the collision, and what improvements could be made to prevent future collisions (e.g. the recent killing of children by a BMW driver would have been prevented by bollards) - then, creation of social media posts around this (CC-BY so anyone can use them in their own content)
* Progress Dashboard for specific goals, e.g. conversion of most alleys to one-way or pedestrian-only zones could have a position on the dashboard: "24km of 2344km of proposed alley changes have been adopted," or "10 of 300 intersections missing bollards have had them installed"
* Creation of collision-tracking online map using government data to let people see where accidents are occuring
* Social Media publicity stunts - dressing up like emperors and slowly crossing a crosswalk, or, putting cones on the cars of uncooperative politicians, etc.
* Create an activist guidebook that describes actions others can take, such as placing cones on unprotected crosswalks to slow traffic, asking cars parked in crosswalks to move, using police report apps to report violations, etc.

### 團隊可以採取的具體行動
* 致命碰撞的紀念分析：當發生致命的行人車禍時，我們收集所有可用的資訊，包括事故現場的照片和影片，以確定基礎設施的缺陷導致了這次事故，並提出未來可防止類似事故的改進措施（例如，最近一名駕駛BMW的司機撞死兒童事件本可以通過設置路障來防止）——隨後，在社交媒體上發布相關內容（CC-BY授權，任何人都可以使用這些內容）
* 針對具體目標的進度儀表板，例如將大多數巷弄改為單行道或僅限行人通行的區域，儀表板上可以顯示進度："已採納2344公里提案中的24公里巷弄改變"，或者"300個缺少路障的十字路口中已有10個安裝了路障"
* 使用政府數據創建事故跟蹤地圖，讓人們看到事故發生的地點
* 社交媒體宣傳噱頭——比如穿上皇帝服裝，慢慢地走過人行橫道，或在不配合的政治人物的車上放置路障等
* 編寫行動手冊，介紹其他人可以採取的行動，例如在無保護的人行橫道上放置路障以減慢車速，要求停在人行橫道上的汽車移開，使用報警應用程式報告違規行為等
