‘Room Rage’ and Other Tales of Citizen Traffic Calming


Ted Dewan at euroGel 2006 from Gel Conference on Vimeo.

Great presentation (about 20 minutes) by Ted “Road Witch” Dewan, who we’ve mentioned before, from the 2006 GEL Conference but only recently posted.

Also check out the “Life Begins at 20″ campaign, which look to institute a 20 mph speed limit on the streets of Dewan’s hometown, Oxford (the one in England).

(Thanks Jerry)
