Traffic Tidbits: 24 April 2008
It’s been a while since my last tidbits post. Let’s try to make this a good one!
Laser walls!: Laser walls for visual cueing of the car/pedestrian interface and trying to make it safer for pedestrians in urban areas. It’s interesting.

This is also apparently running into Homeland Security roadblocks from a quid pro quo perspective.
Passenger & Freight Rail UP while Air Transport DOWN?: Some discussion about the future of transportation and how it’s affecting the rail and air industries.
Sao Paulo has Bad Traffic: Check out this TIME article about Sau Paulo and its commuters
