  • Summary

  • In this Extra Credit episode, we have a chat about a frankly glum topic: when cars kill people. We discuss a fantastic piece in the New Yorker about a growing movement to end pedestrian and cycling fatalities in NYC and beyond.

    Lots to cover in this show, and we talk about:

    • ingrained attitudes about transportation (and whose experience counts the most)
    • policy choices that inevitably lead to avoidable death
    • individuals and families bearing the burden of collective failures
    • learning from other countries: whether safe streets are a "cultural" thing or a policy result
    • Vision Zero as a response to traffic deaths
    • neighborhood politics
    • the concept of "windshield bias"
    • a few simple design approaches that make streets safer for all people
    • ... and more

    Let's dive in!
