This week, we survey intricacies and discrepancies in driver and pedestrian safety data. Intermixed are a few recent anecdotes and observations from a week in New York City spent exploring with landscape architects, developers, and friends alike.

02:06 On road safety and traffic fatality data.
05:50 Analyzing traffic data and trends.
11:38 Car bloat, unsafe streets, sprawl, and other contributing factors.
