AUTOcracy not DEMOcracy

[Martin Cassini]

Most junctions could be safe civilised spaces, but they are dehumanised by traffic experts. Instead of harnessing our instinct to take it in turns based on time of arrival, they make us live and die by rules of priority which impose unequal rights, make roads dangerous, and produce a "need" for traffic controls. It’s a circular argument incorporating a dead end. Government abdicates responsibility for roads policy to technocrats who remove responsibility from where it belongs: with the people, uniquely equipped to negotiate safe movement.
