Speed Kills (Your Pocketbook)

by Charles Marohn

I’m prepping for a podcast tomorrow with Ian Rasmussen where we are going to discuss the arguments in this video:

I’ve been making arguments like this for years and years. Ian doesn’t see it the same way. Understanding that most people agree with Ian — and he is intellectually a very worthy opponent — I thought it would be an interesting conversation.

Th video is meant to be provocative, but what is your reaction to the underlying argument: that posted speed and roadway design have little to no relation to each other?
