A report of sorts on the state of pedestrian safety in the United States, taking the perspective of traffic deaths & injuries as a public health crisis. Discusses the auto-centric mindset that pervades transportation decision making. I would have liked if the section about the media's influences on our perception of pedestrian traffic deaths were longer. I wish there had been more detail about the history of the term "Jaywalking", and more about how views on the appropriate use of streets changed to where we are today. I most of all wish there was more good news and progress for this book to cover! I hate real-life Frogger!
