Image 1. Octavia Boulevard, San Francisco.
One of the three examples reported in the article
In an effort to adapt cities to automobiles and trucks, traffic engineers introduced the notion of the functional analysis of streets.
Duplicated in many street design manuals, it takes the form of a graph analysing streets as having two functions: mobility or the movement of traffic through an area, and access to land uses along them. The more a street is dedicated to through traffic, the less it should allow access to adjacent land uses.
