One thought on “URBAN DESIGN: Want to get to your destination faster? Slow down

  1. The purpose/goal of City and town streets is completely different than roads and highways. Streets must have a fundamentally different design approach to them. Thank you for pointing this out.

    Streets are for generating wealth, social connections, and quality of life. Roads and highways are to get vehicles from point A to B quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, INDOT and DPW have used the same design standards for both streets and highways for many decades. This has done great harm to cities/towns. Two different design standards are necessary.
