The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog USA.

In today’s newsletter, we have news about how a 17th-Century architectural feature could help make our present-day suburbs more walkable, the psychology of car dependence, a speed camera pilot in California and more.

And now a word from our editors:


Streetsblog provides high-quality journalism and analysis for free — which is something to be celebrated in an era of paywalls. But the work Streetsblog does is not free; we rely on the generosity of our readers to help support our reporters and editors as they advance the movement to end car dependency in our communities.

If you already support our work, thank you! Can you brag about us to your friends and ask them to support?If you aren’t a supporter yet, please join us and help us push for a more livable, walkable, bikeable, equitable and enjoyable country for all. And happy holidays from the Streetsblog team!
