The Staggering Ignorance of Traffic Engineers (with Build the Lanes)
Manage episode 378295138 series 3460615
America has Traffic Engineers. The Netherlands has Transportation Engineers. One is concerned with moving as many cars as possible, the other builds transportation systems. In this podcast, I'm joined by Steffen Berr, an American Traffic Engineer turned Transportation Engineer who now lives in the Netherlands. We discuss the myopic approach taken by Traffic Engineers in America, and how it ultimately ruins cities.
Steffen has a great article that is worth reading:
