Today we're looking at what happens when stroads, or suburban arterials, intersect, and how the design of suburban intersections is a microcosm of the kind of planning and engineering that plagues the US, particularly suburbs that developed in the latter half of the 20th century.
Our exploration will take us on a tour of:
- Suburban land uses, including big box stores and the scourge that is drive thrus in America
- Intersection operations, including signal timing and how people walking, biking, and rolling are often afterthoughts
- Pedestrian signal countdowns and push-button operations, and related frustrations
Enjoy (or loathe) this trip to the heart of terrible land use planning and traffic engineering in suburban Las Vegas!
