We all want to live in a place where the transportation system serves residents. But with crumbling roads, maddening amounts of congestion, thousands of traffic deaths each year, and unreliable public transit…it feels like the other way around.

So who’s serving who?

The costs of the North American transportation system are too high—not just in money, but in time, safety, and quality of life. Most Americans sense the transportation system is working against rather than for them. Yet they also feel powerless because they can’t put their finger on why it’s so bad, or how it can be made better.

Marohn pulls back the curtain on the North American transportation system and explains why the conventional approach to traffic engineering is making people less safe, bankrupting towns and cities, and destroying the fabric of communities.
