Our argument is simple but radical: transportation policy should maximize access, not movement.

For a century, we’ve measured success by car throughput and speed. But that's only a means. The end is connecting people to destinations they value.

We've been measuring, then building, the wrong thing.

This is not true of the officers I’ve met.

Their genuine priority is to slow traffic for improved safety, they just don’t understand that the most effective way to do that is by road design.

They’d rather educate, put signs up, and (yes) write tickets than see a little bit of congestion.

This technology already exists and is widely used. It doesn't involve 'government surveillance' and would not allow ICE or any other government agency to stop individual cars.

Just say you think thousands of kids dying every year is worth it so you can speed!

Ooh good point. Hmm yeah not sure what the thinking is there.

Here’s what we looked at in Jan

It’s going through transportation commission now — i hope we’ll pass it in our Feb meeting — then on to city council

It’s looking like this will be our first one

That’s interesting. Here in Spokane the engineers told us the signs have to be yellow (orange?) diamonds

Is the fix doable in this century though

due to its density every honk is heard by literally thousands of people
