Traffic - looks like an interesting new book


An interesting new book is be promoted, related to the causes of behavior in traffic situations. USA today had an interesting review and NPR's Fresh Air had a short interview with the author, Tom Vanderbilt. Among the thought are Mr. Vanderbilt's support for "zippering", as I have discussed in a previous post, and support for traffic circles, which I like.

In addition to these areas, he delves into the psychology of what causes different driving behaviors in different people. Looks like a good read. Ordered my copy from Amazon today!
