does anyone actually use this word other than Charles Marohn and Not Just Bikes?[edit]

there are 30 mentions of Marohn in an article that should be about the concept itself. does anyone else actually talk about this? 216.80.40.254 (talk) 22:50, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, a person who added some "stroad related" material here. I would be very much pleased if there was a more general theory / set of literature that covers this topic, since I observed this effect in everyday life andwanted some theory to understand it, and felt the stroad literature which others suggested on geography forums was a bit lacking though addressed the effect I had observed. One thing I remember hearing in a podcast I listened to on the topic is that dutch planners seem to understand this problem and implement policy to fix it - so there might be some theory there. Perhaps this cite that I just found while searching for stroad within academic literature

Asadi, M., M. B. Ulak, K. T. Geurs, W. Weijermars, and P. Schepers. A Comprehensive Analysis of36 the Relationships between the Built Environment and Traffic Safety in the Dutch Urban Areas.37 Accident Analysis & Prevention, Vol. 172, 2022, p. 106683

The citing document says "This type of facilities that is notoriously ubiquitous in the USA (often called “stroad”) is discouraged by the safe system principles)"

As to whether the term is being used, on that most reliable of sources, youtube video essays, it gets a bit of use. Searching scholarly and "policy" literature with this search the term seems to be getting used in other literature, but none of the examples I could find are that well cited (though they are quite new).

@216.80.40.254 you do realise that the article has a References and Bibliography section, right? Like all articles should, and most articles do. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 00:57, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know this is anectodal, but my daughter had a lesson on stroads in her 2nd grade class. My wife is a city planner and knows about the concept, but was shocked to hear it from her daughter coming home from school. I think it's use is spreading, though it's a new term for sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.59.157.174 (talk) 20:01, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Stroad" used in a June 2023 report by United States Department of Transportation — Federal Highway Administration, now cited in the article:

Adding Globalize tag[edit]

Hello. I'm adding the Globalize tag to this article as most of its information is about North America and Europe. I hope the template could be removed from this article when more information regarding the rest of the world is added into it. Jothefiredragon (talk) 05:38, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
