Document Summary
Vanderbilt, t. (cid:498)why more roads lead to more traffic(cid:499) Latent demand demand that"s there but because the system is so confined the demand doesn"t materialize. Non-recurring congestion- congestion due to wrecks, weather, construction, etc. Nash equilibrium- state in which no player of an experimental game can make himself better off by his own action alone. Un-internalized externalities- you are not feeling the pain you cause others. Stromberg, m. (cid:498)king county studies land use, health, and pollution,(cid:499) Residents in interconnected areas traveled 28% fewer miles a day. Transit and walking are synergetic- more convenient transit= more walking. Higher proportion of participants in walkable communities got at least 30 minutes of moderate and vigorous activity a day. This data can be used to push for better trails, sidewalks, and informal gathering spaces. Many obstacles for pedestrians and bicyclists are everyday things woven into our world. These were not planned accidentally, rather purposefully because our world plans for the vehicle.
