How to misdirect with indicators: "Median travel speeds are only slightly above the 15-mph target (17 mph averaged across the corridor).” I don't know about you, but I'm a lot more concernd about the high end speeds, not that only half the cars exceed 17 mph. Median (half above, half below) and mean (average) do not tell you distribution of speeds, or how fast the extremes are.
And as a pedestrian who likes slow streets, I am very aware of the high speed tail. I'm a little worried that #sfmta appears to not understand how to use statistics to assess risks.
