Radical traffic management

A thinker's traffic manager...

Monderman and I are tooling around the rural two-
lane roads of northern Holland, where he works as
a road designer. He wants to show me a favorite
intersection he designed. It's a busy junction
that doesn't contain a single traffic signal,
road sign, or directional marker, an approach
that turns eight decades of traditional traffic
thinking on its head.

...

In Denmark, the town of Christianfield stripped
the traffic signs and signals from its major
intersection and cut the number of serious or
fatal accidents a year from three to zero.

My, my. Whoda thunk everyone thinking for themselves
would ever work?

Full report.
