Traffic Reporting

There’s so much on the intertubes lately, more than I can comment on, but a quick pointer to good stuff you may have already seen:

— Budapest City Hall to consider “artificial traffic jams” in weird test of biking/ped facilities

— The beautiful and terrifying geography we have wrought in the highway interchange.

— Ryan Avent on fuel-economy standards.

— New York drivers “worst in nation,” typically media-friendly, absolutely unscientific “study” finds

— Texting driver hits cop.

— Utica, N.Y., getting rid of surplus traffic lights (”These lights were needed when the city had a population of 100,000. Now there are about 60,000 people living here and the lights will come down in stages.”)

    That’s interesting about Utica. Over here we used to have traffic lights when there were about 40000 people in the city, but several sets have gone now that there are 65000 people. Those that are left are… different.
