Not Just Bikes introduces the "stroad", a street-road hybrid common in the US and Canada that fails at both jobs. He contrasts it with Dutch design, where each road has a single purpose, and covers cost, danger and ugliness.
Why HN recommends it: HN links it constantly as the standard introduction to stroads and Strong Towns-style arguments about car-centric design.
