How to design safer intersections:
1. Near-sided signals. Placed before the bike/ped crossing, they prevent drivers from creeping into the path.
2. Pavement differentiation. High-contrast, colored crossings (like this red asphalt) clearly establish priority and command driver attention.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Sometimes I am struck quite forcefully by how Trump’s greatest weapon is us: our collective ignorance, indifference, laziness, quickness to anger, willingness to cede reason to a strongman, willingness to believe the worst of the Other. We are his terrible swift sword.

Want to legally drive a Japanese mini-truck in Colorado? You may soon be able to
The ‘kei’ cars and trucks are growing in popularity in the U.S. But many states have explicitly banned them in recent years. A bill at the statehouse would allow them on Colorado roads.

“Jay walker” began to enter US English in 1905. By then, “jay driver,” “jay bicyclist,” and “jay automobilist” were already in circulation. All three were regarded as nuisances, especially to pedestrians and streetcar passengers.
