How to get from A to B – in the future.
Most people do not know the right-of-way rules, but a starting point should be that pedestrian needs and safety take priority. Current road rules are biased towards driver convenience
Commuters who drive to and from the CBD typically earn much more than most. Concerns about the fairness of charging drivers who use these busy roads at peak times are overblown.
Turning from the conflict of airport expansions to a vision of a low-carbon transport system.
Britain’s councils are cutting roadside verges less often to allow vibrant wildflower meadows to bloom.
Cities must manage all the competing uses for limited roadside space to avoid congestion and maximise efficiency. And that begins with reliable data.

The major parties are promising projects costing tens of billions of dollars, with a surprisingly large overlap between them. Yet only two have been endorsed by infrastructure authorities.
US cities were designed and engineered around cars. Now some are working to increase walking and biking, but the shift isn’t easy.
When it snows, it pours – but why do municipalities treat the roads with salt? A chemist explains how salt affects water and ice.
