    Why we can't educate or enforce our way to safer streets: "The idea of a scofflaw motorist or cyclist is used by the traffic engineering profession as a scapegoat... a way to deflect blame from people who design dangerous streets to those who use them."

    This Mother's Day, I'm thinking about the chapter from Curbing Traffic by that discusses the heavy burden car dependency places on those who take the lead role in childcare. In most American communities, being a parent means being chained to your car.

    "For Maya, the cycle lanes in the Netherlands are tools for her emancipation; giving her the freedom to go wherever she wants without having to rely on her husband, friends, or a public transport network that still hasn’t fully adapted to meet her needs."

    We know human-scale spaces such as these improve our physical, mental, and social health. We know countless tourists flock to low-car places such as these to spend time and money. So why do we keep creating unhealthy, unhappy, antisocial cities from which people want to escape?

    Sixteen-and-a-half years ago, a couple of twenty-something newlyweds stumbled off an overnight train from Barcelona to Venice on their honeymoon. So it’s been quite special for us to return to the city and walk the very same streets with our teenage children all this time later.

    Despite the historic center of Venice strictly prohibiting all bicycles, its mainland of Mestre offers many pieces of surprisingly high-quality infrastructure. And it was being utilized by residents of all ages, abilities, and incomes; even on a cold and rainy day such as today.

    Reaching up to 300km/h, Italy’s high-speed trains have been an incredible success, replacing car/plane trips on an impressive scale. Since opening in 2008, the number of rail passengers between Rome and Milan has quadrupled; now two-thirds of ALL people making the 600km journey.

    Why do Dutch train stations have so much bike parking? Planners have specifically chained the bike and train as one seamless mobility option: quick, convenient, affordable door-to-door travel used by hundreds of thousands each day. WATCH via :

    I can’t stress how much this passage resonates with me as a parent. “Ambient stresses are low-level, chronic stresses we experience daily, such as noise pollution and speeding cars”. (P.120) curbing traffic

    The Cinque Terre ("Five Lands") is a string of centuries-old fishing villages built into the rugged, steep cliffs overlooking the Ligurian Sea. They are connected by foot, train and boat; as cars can only reach them with great difficulty via narrow and precarious mountain roads.

    Completed in 1874, the Cinque Terre railway connects five previously isolated villages along the rugged Ligurian coastline in Italy. Not only is it one of the world’s most scenic train journeys, it is an engineering marvel, with 23 bridges and 51 tunnels along its 28 kilometers.
