General Road and Highway Discussion

[timc]

Road diets are another good example, some places are prime candidates for it, some remain essentially unchanged before and after (save for the expense of the diet, e.g. Davenport which is as dead as it was before)

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. Although it may not have a lot of traffic, the Davenport road diet has done a lot to reduce the speed of drivers racing through the area, and made it a much nicer place for pedestrians and cyclists.
