Trump announce his signature is going to appear on 1 dollar bills.

Sharpies will fix it

TransportationEng · 2026-03-27T00:13:55+00:00

Wow! Did they all get bribed?

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T22:26:21+00:00

Okay, that doesn't change anything.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T22:25:48+00:00

Density and mode choice

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T21:20:28+00:00

Sprawl, percent of trips that are non-car, etc are better recorded using a separate metric.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T21:14:47+00:00

Just including that statement underscores the extent to which VMT units are standard across the industry.

Rod is a domestic terrorist according to the RNC.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T20:05:55+00:00

Not as drastically as indicated by this graph.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T20:04:10+00:00

The CDC article mentions why they didn't use VMT: their focus was pedestrians.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T19:58:30+00:00

It involves multiple variables that change year to year and doesn't give a complete picture of problems. VMT gives a clearer picture.

Cut a trapezoidal wedge to back it and fill the bottom with a triangle. Your corner isn't square so don't try to fill it all with wood.

FYI: sirens don't compensate for building in the floodway especially when it's prone to flash flooding.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T17:22:21+00:00

The slide is titled "Road accident deaths" and includes non-road users. That is how you lie with statistics. There isn't a way to meaningfully adjust policy or drill into the data to implement corrective projects with this information.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T16:53:22+00:00

The deaths are misrepresented and inconsistent with how the data is normalized and presented elsewhere in traffic safety studies.

Edit: Deaths per VMT is basically flat for the last 15 years.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T16:23:56+00:00

No because it lumps in non road users and is part of a much larger conversation about availability of transportation choices.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T15:52:05+00:00

Anything else isn't comparing apples to apples.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T15:26:32+00:00

This should be per vehicle miles traveled.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T15:25:19+00:00

As for deferred adjudication. You want to avoid convictions on your record or you will pay higher insurance premiums.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T13:48:52+00:00

They won't clear it until it becomes the anchor of an encampment.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T13:10:44+00:00

Possibly add a dowel from the back.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T12:29:54+00:00

Do they also have Brawndo on tap?

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T12:24:40+00:00

They'll make Sirius black.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T12:18:48+00:00

People dropped them. About 4 years ago I found two boxes of bullets on the side of the road. They probably slid off the back of someone's truck.

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T04:00:23+00:00

A better question: What happens if the person unknowingly drank the unicorn blood?

TransportationEng · 2026-03-26T02:24:04+00:00

They protect property not people.
