This book explores the geography of the everyday roadway and
contemplates how regulation and design shape our streets. People
may question the hegemony of cars, but reimagining public streets
is a major conceptual and technical challenge. Drawing from "new
mobilities" and transport studies, Prytherch addresses how streets
are structured by policy standards; what it means to have a right
to the street; and how a more just street would look-in both theory
and practice. He summarizes key traffic statutes, case laws, and
engineering manuals, and interprets these in relation to mobility
rights and justice. At its core, the book moves beyond criticism to
highlight emerging movements which aim to develop more complete and
livable streets for everyone.
