Hoboken, New Jersey, recently marked seven consecutive years without a traffic death. Officials there credit their decision to take away some street parking, a change that increases visibility for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

    i wish they’d do that here. they used to have ‘compact car only’ parking closest to the intersections so you could see better. but as suv and pickups became the ‘norm’, they took those restrictions out. giagantus automobilus now blocks the view at every corner downtown. trying to cross the street on foot (which i have to do 6-8 times a day) or trying to turn onto the main street thru town in your car is scary af.
