No Comments on Rethinking the One-Way Street

I recently published an article in Transfers Magazine with Billy Riggs questioning some of the received wisdom about one-way streets and efficiency. This builds on our recent research published in JPER modeling vehicle distance traveled before and after hypothetical one-way to two-way street conversions.

I have a new article out now in the Journal of Planning Education and Research with Billy Riggs, in which we examine how two-way street conversions impact street network efficiency. Most of the efficiency literature looks at the benefits of one-way streets for signalization and vehicular throughput. We took a different approach, considering how one-way streets inherently increase travel distances.
