Wired 12.12: Roads Gone Wild — No street signs. No crosswalks. No accidents. Surprise: Making driving seem more dangerous could make it safer. By Tom McNichol — (December 2004) - http://www.wired.com/wired...
“Hans Monderman is a traffic engineer who hates traffic signs. Oh, he can put up with the well-placed speed limit placard or a dangerous curve warning on a major highway, but Monderman considers most signs to be not only annoying but downright dangerous. To him, they are an admission of failure, a sign — literally — that a road designer somewhere hasn't done his job.
“The trouble with traffic engineers is that when there's a problem with a road, they always try to add something,” Monderman says. “To my mind, it's much better to remove things.” - × × ×
Интересно, за 6 лет с момента написания этой статьи что-нибудь сдвинулось в эту сторону? В России - ничего, насколько я могу видеть. А где-нибудь еще? - Based on real people
Мондерман, увы, умер от рака в 2008-м, про какие-то подвижки до сих пор говорят как про экспериментальные проекты, но пока ничего большого не видно. Но я ищу. - × × ×
