Great episode! Really disturbing that so much of decades-old "best practice" in traffic engineering is basically vibes, but I'm glad it's being called out and that coming generations of engineers are asking hard questions of the field.

Omg yes!!

Any book that has the sentence "Can't we just embiggen the arterials a bit more?" is a must read. (pg 214)

Added to my @thestorygraph.com to-read list!

I ordered it directly from @islandpress.bsky.social, but I haven't gotten any emails or anything and I contacted them and no reply! Hopefully I get it someday!

ooh i want to read this so bad but i think it might break me even more for living in a poorly engineered metro area
