In this episode of Stop Requested, Levi McCollum and Cristian Londono talk with Dr. Nick Ferenchak, Center Director for the Center for Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety, Chair of the TRB Pedestrian Committee, and Associate Professor at the University of New Mexico. Nick explains why relying only on crash data misses many of the most dangerous corridors and how “latent demand” can help identify streets that are unsafe precisely because people avoid them. The conversation covers proactive tools like pedestrian level of traffic stress, the equity implications of unsafe infrastructure, and why arterials require more than incremental fixes. Nick also shares findings from Albuquerque’s BRT corridor, including major reductions in serious injuries and fatalities, and what it will take to design streets that work for walking, biking, and transit.
