Drivers tend to look for other drivers, rather than for pedestrians or cyclists.

My philosophy is: Everybody needs to look out for everybody else.

SafeTrack - I keep saying this - is not going to fix Metro. It's a speeded up track work program, compressing three years of already planned work on the track bed into about a year.

Tolling plan is a wonderful opportunity for political pandering, and some candidates are taking full advantage of it.

I don't believe any sort of traveler does a better job than any other sort of traveler at obeying traffic safety laws. It's difficult to foresee a camera program that can be used with bikers and walkers.

Nobody likes paying tolls. It's difficult to explain the concept of dynamic tolling, where the price varies to maintain the flow of traffic. And it's difficult to explain why highway widenings don't wind up helping commuters in the long run.

That's the original problem from which the escalator mess stems. There's just too many of them.
