"Traffic Engineers’ Epic Fail"

"Let's Turn this Dangerous, Expensive Road Back into a Safe Neighborhood Street"

"Dying to Widen Highways - Oregon’s DOT seems to be more concerned with making cars go faster than saving lives."

The site seems to have a rather ... specific focus.

It’s a blog about city planning that is espousing a contrarian view. It isn’t limited to cars, but it does take a strong point that designing cities around cars has significant consequences.

Strong Towns has far from a contrarian view.

Perhaps to civil & traffic engineers, but to urban planners, it is well known the detrimental effects streets can have on cities.
