Philadelphia 's Roosevelt Boulevard has been named the most dangerous street in the city.
Many of the most deadly, polluting, and generally awful urban streets are overseen by state departments of transportation.
The country is littered with roads that are a legacy of the past, that don't work very well, says Rep. Earl Blumenauer .
City-state tensions over state highways can take many forms.
Roadway safety is often a flashpoint, since fixes frequently involve slowing traffic that state officials want to keep flowing.
Local efforts to improve transit service can also face state resistance.
Fixing the deficiencies of state roadways requires a paradigm shift within state DOTs.
Historically, roadway design guidelines have prioritized free-flowing traffic.
Instead of applying one -size-fits-all rules for elements like lane widths and traffic lights, “context-sensitive design” encourages engineers to add pedestrian crossings, narrow lanes, and other features that can support local transportation needs.
Federal money could help finance such redesigns — if state officials know how to use it.
