America's deadliest road, explained
US road design favors speed over pedestrian safety.
Subscribe and turn on notifications ๐ so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
Most American roads arenโt just unpleasant for pedestrians, they can be dangerous. Pedestrian fatalities have been rising in the past few years, and urban planners point to the way roads are designed as the culprit.
A group of urban planners identified 60 pedestrian fatality hot spots throughout the US, and a 1,000-meter corridor of US-19 in New Port Richey, Florida, topped their list. Seventeen pedestrians lost their lives along this short stretch of road in the study period of 2001 to 2016.
The fatality hot spots on the studyโs list shared a lot of design characteristics. Many of them are arterial thoroughfares: roads historically built to ...

State Road 56 Diverging Diamond Interchange Animation
The Florida Department of Transportationโs contractor will reconfigure the I-75 / SR 56 interchange between CR 54 and Cypress Ridge Boulevard in Pasco County starting in early 2019. The existing diamond interchange will be modified and converted to a diverging diamond interchange - which is an innovative, proven solution for improving safety and mobility at interchanges. Each direction of SR 56 traffic will be shifted to the left side of the roadway to cross the bridge over I-75. The improvements will help to reduce travel time for motorists in this rapidly growing area.

Why the US has two different highway fonts
The typefaces on highway signs, deconstructed.
Subscribe and turn on notifications (๐ ) so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
When you head out on the highway in the United States, youโre probably paying attention to the signs above your car and on the side of the road โ the ones that direct you to your destination. If youโre looking for an exit or a rest stop, chances are youโll see the typeface Highway Gothic. It became the highway standard in the 1950s, born out of an initiative from the California Department of Transportation to develop a clearer and more flexible standard for highway signs.
But for the past decade, a new typeface has been trying to take its place: Clearview. This new typeface boasts wider spaces inside of letters and less chunky letterforms, and trie...

US road design favors speed over pedestrian safety.

Most American roads arenโt just unpleasant for pedestrians, they can be dangerous. Pedestrian fatalities have been rising in the past few years, and urban planners point to the way roads are designed as the culprit.
A group of urban planners identified 60 pedestrian fatality hot spots throughout the US, and a 1,000-meter corridor of US-19 in New Port Richey, Florida, topped their list. Seventeen pedestrians lost their lives along this short stretch of road in the study period of 2001 to 2016.
The fatality hot spots on the studyโs list shared a lot of design characteristics. Many of them are arterial thoroughfares: roads historically built to keep high-speed traffic off of nearby residential streets. But the way US communities developed in a sprawling fashion along these roads meant these roadways also became business centers that pedestrians might need to access. The number of lanes and distances between crosswalks are among other dangerous design elements.
For this video, we went to New Port Richey to walk along US-19 and document the design characteristics identified in the study.
--
Correction - A previous version of this video featured an interview that spoke to a memorial at Main Street and US-19. Locals from the New Port Richey area brought to our attention that the interview misrepresented the memorial, which honors a young man who was killed during an accident between two cars, not a bicycle as stated in the interview. Our sincere apologies for including the misrepresentation of the victim's story. We have edited the video to correct that error.
This is a link to a GoFundMe for the victim's family which includes more details about the incident: https://www.gofundme.com/f/qe5jkz-funeral-expenses-for-logan-blakley

The Florida Department of Transportationโs contractor will reconfigure the I-75 / SR 56 interchange between CR 54 and Cypress Ridge Boulevard in Pasco County starting in early 2019. The existing diamond interchange will be modified and converted to a diverging diamond interchange - which is an innovative, proven solution for improving safety and mobility at interchanges. Each direction of SR 56 traffic will be shifted to the left side of the roadway to cross the bridge over I-75. The improvements will help to reduce travel time for motorists in this rapidly growing area.

When you head out on the highway in the United States, youโre probably paying attention to the signs above your car and on the side of the road โ the ones that direct you to your destination. If youโre looking for an exit or a rest stop, chances are youโll see the typeface Highway Gothic. It became the highway standard in the 1950s, born out of an initiative from the California Department of Transportation to develop a clearer and more flexible standard for highway signs.
But for the past decade, a new typeface has been trying to take its place: Clearview. This new typeface boasts wider spaces inside of letters and less chunky letterforms, and tries to solve some of Highway Gothicโs readability issues. Learn more in the video above.
More from typeface designer Tobias Frere-Jones, who designed the typeface Interstate as an homage to Highway Gothic:
https://www.moma.org/collection/works/139305
