The Zero Milestone, a key monument of the Good Roads Movement, turned one 100 yrs old yesterday. It was intended to be the spot 'from which all road distances in the United States and throughout the Western hemisphere should be reckoned' #GoodRoads
Transportation reporter @JWPascale shares the story behind "one of the most significant monuments in D.C." that is sometimes just used as a pedestal to see the White House. wamu.fm/2XwvQv5
Glad to see our work engaging students on the design of the facility + helping explain roles + how streets work highlighted in the piece #Design4Kids #STEM #STEAM #TrafficGardens
An elementary school in D.C. now has a "traffic garden" -- a European concept that mimics traffic conditions in a safe setting for kids to learn to bike. wamu.org/wp-content/upl…
Middle school presenters! Amazing project that could easily serve as a national model #DesignByKids #Design4Kids
Rutland middle schoolers work to improve street safety: currently at the Vermont SRTS conference listening to these incredible students talk about their project to improve school drop-off! Design by kids! mynbc5.com/article/rutlan…
@JuddLumberjack @DCVisionZero @WABADC @dcpublicschools @DDOTDC @GeorgeMasonU They’re commercial-grade traffic speed humps - they make great mini-ramps for balance bikes as they are low & don’t shift around
Watch from around minute 24 of The Road to Happiness (1924) & you can watch a scene filmed at Arlington test site #GoodRoads youtube.com/watch?v=NZnuo0…
Guess what they farmed! Site of the 'Arlington Road Test' where the Bureau of Public Roads (part of Dept of Agriculture at the time) tested roadway surfaces. Such testing moved out later to the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center in FFX #GoodRoads
Happy to see that Idido Coffee finally opened on #columbiapike and excited about this 1930s map of #ArlingtonVA on the wall! Now I need to find the history on the experimental farm. 🐑🐄🌱🌾
They studied following factors in road design: (1) impact, (2) pressure or weight of the passing load, (3) horizontal shear and tractive forces, and (4) subgrade and soil conditions. Results were reported in a series of Public Roads articles #GoodRoads
Bureau of Good Roads retweeted
This Thursday I'm launching my online storytelling course for active mobility "Becoming a Storytelling Superhero" with a live webinar! SPECIAL INTRO PRICE: Both the webinar + course $14.99 thru Wed: pedallove.org/online-courses…

@wcpssmagnets @NCVisionZero @NCDOT_Triangle @RaleighMoves @RaleighBikeLady This is an edu program I have my eye on b/c it meets our goals. A shared understanding for street design builds better users of the streets = 0 deaths. #StreetDesign #STEM Start at the beginning!
Complete the Street kits
Follow along over @TrafficGardens
Check out the video explainer for our new venture & follow @TrafficGardens for the latest as we roll out
@ycwhite The legal LLC called ‘The Bureau of Good Roads’ will exist but public facing name + website will change. New business will be called ‘Discover Traffic Gardens’ so the focus will shift a little although we will be using the same hands-on types of activities & materials, etc
Sadly it is the last day of The Bureau of Good Roads website.The Bureau world was filled with workshops, classes, camps, walks, presentations and large-scale events & this was the final newsletter bit.ly/2rZOHwn
You can still sign up for the newsletter before the website goes dark soon & that'll put you on the new mailing list where you'll find more of the same BUT different. We're doubling down because we know that children engage with these concepts & get it goodroadsmovement.com
Newsletter No. 1 + Discover Family Engineering Day 2016 - the stories & ideas remain much the same as from that first report we put out into the world. That edition included our very first video, The Bureau of Good Roads goes to Washington vimeo.com/157208417
