How the New Urbanism Advances Mobility and Safety Goals (While Building Better Communities at the Same Time)
Many of the transportation elements sought by New Urbanists, such as connected street networks, reduced vehicle operating speeds, and pedestrian-oriented street treatments are often opposed by traffic engineers due to concerns about their effects on mobility and safety. In this lecture, Eric Dumbaugh will discuss why many of the transportation solutions sought by New Urbanists can also be used to advance the mobility and safety goals sought by traffic engineers.
