The Traffic Guru

That’s the title of an essay I’ve written, reflecting on the ideas and legacy of Hans Monderman, the famous Dutch traffic engineer (now there’s an unlikely phrase) who died earlier this year. The piece, which builds upon some material in the book, is just out in the new Wilson Quarterly.

    Excellent article in the Wilson Quarterly. We’re trying to stir interest in a local transportation system here that’s a little less auto-centric. I will be sharing your writing with others I hope to engage in the discussion.
