Then discover the surprising truths behind our transportation systems in Killed by a Traffic Engineer: Shattering the Delusion that Science Underlies our Transportation System where Wes Marshall uncovers how flawed assumptions, not science, shape our streets —and how we can reclaim them for safer, more equitable communities for all road users.

Center for Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety (CPBS) researcher Bob Schneider will first introduce the new PLTS tool, which can be found here. Then CPBS researcher Nick Ferenchak will detail new BLTS intersection criteria.​​
