• Abstract:
  Over the last 85 years, engineers and researchers have tweaked and analyzed every minute detail of roadway design with one goal: optimizing vehicular speed. Although the industry has been looking seriously at design for other modes since the late 1980’s, the vast majority of the money and energy has been poured into examining every nuance and detail of roadway safety and design. Despite this, or maybe because of this, our pedestrian and bicycle fatalities have climbed steadily since 2008, and the trend is only accelerating.
