[edit] Merging Lane diet into Road diet

Yes, as the original contributor, I agree that this properly belongs under "Road Diets" I do not know how to do this, and hope that an editor can assist.

References for Lane Diets and their effectiveness include recent research publications by Robert B. Noland (2006) and Eric Dumbaugh (2006).

Okay, cool. Sometime when I have time I'll merge them. It's not a highly technical process -- click "edit this page" on Lane diet, copy what's there, click "edit this page" on Road diet, and add the information in. Preferably edit the content so it flows well. --Alynna 03:20, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] confusing paragraph

Can someone with a knowledge of the subject reword this?

Road diets do not displace traffic, unless they have exotically high numbers. Road diet ranges typically start at 8,000 vehicles per day, and climb to 19,000 vehciles per day. At 20,000 vehicles per day the diet is called a "Super Road Diet." These diets range from 19,000 on up to about 23,000 vehciles per day. They are undertaken by replacing signals with roundabouts, and other means to keep traffic moving smoothly and uniformally.

I'm not sure what the first sentence means at all. I also have no idea what a "range" is in relation to a road diet. --Alynna 18:13, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
