Status Updates From Killed by a Traffic Enginee...

If narrower lanes are safer, then what does that say about the fact my former neighbor was constantly having the side mirror knocked off his truck (pickup truck ) when he had parked it in front of his house?? He was constantly having to replace it next the passing cars were knocking it off.

The author talks of self driving cars that can't see pedestrians, of traffic lights that tell drivers to make a turn at the same time the walk signal tells the pedestrian to walk so the driver hits them while making the turn, of crosswalks a half mile apart. These are some of the engineer mistakes in this book. Chapters are very short. Names problems but no real solution so far?

I saw this at the library and just had to grab it. As a pedestrian I am very curious what this book will say. And I am amazed at how fast and easy this is to read, not to mention fascinating. Feels like I am speeding through the book. The roads are designed for speed of cars, not safety for all. Then add in that people don't even follow the rules...
