Designing Infrastructure for Humans, Not Just Code Compliance
We don't just need to fix America's streets and crosswalks and storm drains. We need to think about what — and who — they're for, and bring ethics into the equation.

Cars kill. “People generally associate pollution from cars as being from exhaust pipes and think of electric vehicles as having zero emissions. However, electric vehicles still produce particulate matter due to friction and wear of the road, tyres, and brakes". www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Brake pad dust can be more toxic than exhaust emissions, study says
Research shows move to electric vehicles may not be enough to enable pollution from cars to be eradicated

Rather than pausing to linger, American pedestrians are racing through streets – and doing so alone. A new study from Ed Glaeser, Carlo Ratti, et al. raises troubling questions about the decline of streetlife. Me, in CityLab 🧵

What Happened to Hanging Out on the Street?
Urban pedestrians are walking faster and doing less socializing, according to a new study of NYC, Boston and Philadelphia. Is technology to blame, or public space itself?

It should be no surprise but still alarming the shift from "AI/AV will be so much better than human drivers" to "well, it will be better but also we shouldn't judge too harshly [or sue] when it isn't". We've known for years this is something we need transportation law scholars on the forefront of.

“The origins of car dependency in the United States are mostly forgotten today. We fill this vacuum of memory with various notions, above all that we just prefer to drive and chose car dependency for ourselves.” The 100 year road to car dependency, by @norton.bsky.social in @planetizen.bsky.social

The 100-Year Road to Car Dependency in the US
October 8, 2024, marks the centennial of the publication of what would soon become the Los Angeles Traffic Ordinance — a landmark on the road toward our car-dominated status quo.

My son loves trains to the extent that he makes train tracks out of whatever he has, and wherever he wants… I would say he has a LOVE for #PublicTransit
Just a train lover kiddo 🚇🚂

Such fears are entirely reasonable, but NHTSA ignores then. The agency holds no blind zone tests of any kind. Good luck out there.

NEW STUDY: What matters more for public transit ridership? Frequency or coverage? No surprise— “We find that both factors are strong predictors of transit ridership, with service frequency having a larger impact.” Plan resources accordingly. #FrequencyIsFreedom www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

It's World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims #WDoR2024, so here's a reminder that the American approach toward road safety has failed. "Even after adjusting for distance driven, US fatality rates remain 2x the rich-world average." www.ft.com/content/9c93...

We built #Sidewalks on my 4-year-old son’s puzzle using electrical tape! He was unhappy with the width of the sidewalk, so we made it two layers; imagine the same approach in real life! #HealthyUrbanLife #TransportationEquity #HealthyCommunities
