... an article on how to design safe roads.

Something along the lines of an article posted here from the Atlantic.

Wow. Very interesting.
I'm still trying to picture how a square roundabout is more interesting then a circular one. Maybe it's larger and gives you a better chance to make our lane changes (if it's a big roundabout).

“I don’t want traffic behavior, I want social behavior.”
Wouldn't that be nice? Shame there's so many anti-social pricks out there.

I found this to be an interesting statement about our society...
Good read overall... especially the bits about the relationship of time and the aspect of the social order of traffic.
Interesting too that the US decided quite early to "devote" spaces to cars vice people... and the result is what we have now.
A geographic survey of East Lansing, Michigan, for example, once found that more than 50 percent of the retail district was dedicated to “automobile space”—parking, roads, and the like.
