New Link

If you haven't done so yet check out the new link - Roads Gone Wild. This is the future of road design. Take the time to read the whole article. Nearly everyone has the same reaction, it'll never work here, cause people here don't know how to drive. Yet cities the size of Fitchburg and larger have taken this approach and found that it does work here. The longer we take to get on board and change the way we think about roads and road design the worse our traffic will get.

    Monderman's design methods are great and would work here - but only if the prevailing speed is 30 mph or less. Higher than that and the method fails.

    The good news (for Monderman supporters) is that we have plenty of areas that are less than 30, congested, over-signed, etc. intersections.
