How to Turn a Stroad into a Street (or a Road)

With a road, just focus on moving vehicles. Resist the temptation to build a Swiss Army gadget that tries to do everything. It doesn’t work. Just build a great road.

When we convert a stroad to a street, the emphasis should be on creating a successful place. This means we have to slow down traffic — actually constrict the speed that people can drive — to make the place safe and inviting for people outside of cars.
