I would like every traffic and road engineer in Canada, but especially Calgary, to watch this critically important video about road design.
I even took the time to omit all of the boring fluff. The saleint quote: "The street design should change until the drivers are going the desired speed."
Why am I stressing that part? Because Calgary spent millions of dollars beautifying and redesigning Bowness Road in my neighbourhood to make it slower, less desirable as a pass-through road, and safer for pedestrians (and well, everyone really), but the design made too many compromises. They even took out planned stop signs.
