Sad to see that Hans Monderman, the champion of decluttering roads, has died:

His maxim was: “If you treat drivers like idiots, they act as idiots. Never treat anyone in the public realm as an idiot, always assume they have intelligence.”

He was sometimes seen as an enemy of car-centric road design, but in my view his basic message that over-regulation was the enemy of true road safety is very valid.
