80 / Pedestrian & driver relations, traffic data narratives, & a week in NYC.
This week, we survey intricacies and discrepancies in driver and pedestrian safety data. Intermixed are a few recent anecdotes and observations from a week in New York City spent exploring with landscape architects, developers, and friends alike.
It's always a reinvigorating trip for a pedestrian and transit-adorer; a few of my recs are found in this audio.
We discuss:
00:00 On recent travels to NYC.
02:06 On road safety and traffic fatality data.
05:50 Analyzing traffic data and trends.
11:38 Car bloat, unsafe streets, sprawl, and other contributing factors.
27:33 The pedestrian experience in New York City.
47:37 Upcoming.
For context:
Pedestrian and traffic deaths, compared to other high-income nations (2013-2022) (via the CDC).
NHTSA data projections (via the NHTSA).
On cyclist fatalities, and interpreting the data (via Ken McLeod of the League of American Bicyclists).
