LavenderLynx+FollowIs This Intersection Design Putting Us All at Risk?Yesterday, I stopped at the first white line for a red light, just like I always do. There was a big truck ahead, so I waited patiently. Suddenly, another car zipped around me and ended up sitting right on the train tracks, waiting for the light. It reminded me of the Honda Pilot I saw on Google Earth in a similar spot. Honestly, this intersection feels so unsafe. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Peter Castillo+FollowSidewalks Beat Fancy Road Designs?Turns out, adding simple stuff like sidewalks, crosswalks, and better lighting does way more to prevent crashes than those complicated road design tweaks engineers love. A new study found that these easy-to-update features have a bigger impact on safety than things like lane width or road curves. Basically, if you want safer streets, focus on what helps people walk and see—not just how the road is shaped! #RoadSafety #UrbanDesign #PedestrianSafety #TrafficSafety #CityPlanning #Transportation00Share
pamela78+FollowPlot Twist: Medina Wins by 'Doing Less'? 🧐Did anyone else notice how the jury picked 'W[oa]ndering Medina' as the top winner for basically NOT building a traditional visitor center? Instead of a flashy new building, they just blended subtle cues into the city itself. Some fans are saying this is genius—others think it's a cop-out. Is 'absence' the new trend in heritage design, or did the jury just not want to pick anything too bold? #UIACompetition #HeritageDebate #ArchitectureDrama #VeniceBiennale #UrbanDesign #Entertainment00Share

Lauren Cooper+FollowBusy Streets = Safer Streets?Turns out, those cluttered, tree-lined streets with parked cars and buildings everywhere might actually keep us safer! New research says drivers slow down when roads feel more complex, while wide-open roads make us hit the gas. Wild twist: people speed up on streets with bike lanes because they feel safer, not necessarily because it’s safer for everyone. Basically, a little chaos on the street might be the secret to safer driving! #UrbanDesign #RoadSafety #CityLife #StreetSmarts #Transportation80Share
