Road design, safety and Vision Zero

And now the actual reason I logged in again this evening:

Jarrett Walker is always interesting and always thoughtful. I recommend his website to anybody interested in transit. This particular article is a review of a book on road safety which I think is very on point for this board, even if the current discussion is about intentional crime rather than the unintentional but all too predictable consequences of poor design.

He talks about bus shelters. Sucks we can't have those nice things in RoW. Only a handful of them still exist. They're needed in Vegas to cool people down in the extreme summer heat. But we should have them here, not just for our hot months, but our extreme cold months too.
