Killed by a Traffic Engineer

In Killed by a Traffic Engineer, civil engineering professor Wes Marshall scrutinizes the alarming rise in road deaths in the US, revealing a troubling lack of scientific rigor behind street engineering. While traffic engineers have no intention to cause harm, their designs often prioritize speed over safety and quality of life, perpetuating a dangerous transportation system. Marshall argues for a transformative shift towards creating streets that prioritize human safety and environmental health, ultimately envisioning a more equitable future for urban mobility.
