Tragic and so true
A helicopter crashed onto the freeway in Sacramento last night; 3 people were critically injured. Wall-to-wall news coverage as two federal agencies investigate what went wrong and prepare to correct any systemic problems. A real contrast with fatal car crashes, which are accepted as routine.

Next generation, same story... highways create traffic and widening makes traffic worse. Incredible investigative reporting by Ariane Lange @sacbee.com on generations of harm to Sac families and neighborhoods by Hwy 50, made worse by the current widening.

Will traffic on Highway 50 ever end? Sacramento history suggests the answer is ‘no’
Where are these freeway lanes headed? “It feels like spitting in the wind a little bit. In five years, we’re gonna feel like we want another lane.”

More fearlessness today from @jeanieww.bsky.social in @sfchronicle.com, writing about the well debunked myth that adding new highway lanes in the hope of reducing traffic only encourages more drivers to use the road… resulting in higher levels of congestion.

Is a California highway project ‘dumping half a billion dollars into the ocean’?
Will the state spend $500 million on Highway 37, which is expected to be underwater by mid-century?
