A century of cracks in roads made for #cars. Now it's time to craft spaces that move us all.  ''The Los Angeles Traffic Ordinance of 1925 went into effect 100 years ago next Friday, January 24.

The newspaper sells the law as a less brutal way of “abolishing jaywalkers” than previous methods''. - Professor Peter Norton of the University of Virginia --- #made2walk #pedestriansafety #LATrafficOrdinance1925 #jaywalking #motorists #education #history #carcentric #roads #urbanplanning #advocacy #onlinecourse #fleetdriver #driver #truckdriver
