Interview by Prof. Okhrin with DNN about Roundabouts and SUVs
An interview with Prof. Dr. Ostap Okhrin was published in DNN (Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten). He said that roundabouts are safer and help traffic flow better than regular intersections. He also talked about the problems caused by big SUVs in cities, which can be more dangerous for people walking or biking because of their size and weight.
Professor Okhrin explained that roundabouts can lower car pollution and noise by reducing traffic waiting times. They also help protect cyclists and pedestrians by slowing down traffic. He warned that many big SUVs cause traffic jams and parking problems, making city streets less safe. He wants cities to build more bike paths, improve public transport, and make streets safer for everyone, focusing on helping people who travel without cars.
