Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide!

It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.

It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Once again, the New York Times gives the dataviz community an opportunity to reflect on its purpose.

Can everything be quantified and turned into a chart?

Most important: what are the consequences of a chart?

If words matter, charts matter too.
Of course the NYT sees the "DEI" stuff positively & is neutral on anti-trans discrimination

The solution to poor driving is rocks

Parking on the pavement? Put some big ol' rocks in the way

Are cars going too fast? Cover the road in little bumpy rocks

Street too wide? Big pile of rocks for cars to go around

Need a bike lane? Line of chunky rocks to keep cars away

Rocks 👍 🪨🌳🚶🚴‍♂️
