The US Federal Highway Administration is revising their Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways(MUTCD). Basically, it’s a long technical document that American engineers follow when designing every single road in the country.

Bike / pedestrian infrastructure is totally non-existent in much of the US, everything was built to be 100% car-centric. This is a chance to change that; the Green New Deal will bring massive infrastructure reform, and the MUTCD is going to influence how every road in the country is constructed / renovated. If enough people speak up we can make pedestrian / bike infrastructure a written priority!
