This week in Complete, Safe, Equitable Streets: a field trip to a cluster of schools located on a narrow, high speed two-lane road, and meeting with #ChapelHillNC planning staff to discuss ways we can make the area safer for kids to get to and from school.
The focus for the 2nd half of the course is on developing design and policy recommendations to support the town's commitment to #SafeStreetsForAll. It's a treat helping our students get this hands on experience.

This week in Complete, Safe, Equitable Streets, we're talking about how to measure travel demand...in the most literal sense of the word: "I demand to be able to get to work, school, the park, wherever, safely, via my chosen travel mode."
We'll cover common approaches to evaluating demand, pitfalls of those approaches, and techniques you can use now to better understand your community's mobility needs.

-- how one person's idea of the perfect street may be someone else's living hell, and
-- why it's seemingly so dang hard to make intersections like this one ⤵️ less hostile to everyone:

What we're talking about this week in my Complete, Safe, Equitable Streets course:
1. The legal frameworks that should guarantee #SafeStreetsForAll...and why they fail,
2. The 4 types of cyclists, and
3. The* downsides* of many well-meaning "safety" campaigns, including this one: https://www.fox5dc.com/news/make-eye-contact-with-drivers-before-crossing-the-street-pedestrian-safety-vienna-eye-to-eye
