Who would have thought widening streets and roads, increasing speed limits within cities and neighborhoods, and building all infrastructure with a car first mentality would be detrimental to people.
Streets are destinations, roads are throughways!
Design streets properly for people, and design roads properly for cars. Don’t mix these two into “strodes”.
Denver also have a pretty big problem with drivers running yellow/reds. I lived there for a year and lost track of how many truck crashed in front of my house within months. At the end I was always waiting for a second or two on greens because the risk of some impatient maniac missing the yellow and trying to get through anyway on the red, and you’ll even get honked at if you don’t.
Driving there is a very frustrating experience that’s almost designed to maximize road rage incidents.
So happy to be back into a walkable city.
In the entire city of Denver, there are just 4 red-light cameras operating.
This one infuriates me so much. Car crashes are so common in North America especially drivers running into buildings for example. Yet streets and roads are never redesigned, or it’s never questioned as to how to prevent it from happening.
Excellent NotJustBikes video talking about this.
Should have named it Vision 20/20 then.
20/20 is average, should have named it 20/10. Also in conversation people would assume Vision 20/20 was something to do with learning from COVID.
