Available at these retailers:
Amazon | Island Press | Apple iBooks | Barnes & Noble Nook
"Incisive debut polemic...Marshall’s breezy narrative, with section titles like 'What Are We Doing Here?' plunges surprisingly deeply into the nitty-gritty of engineering standards, giving many specialist terms a vigorous, exasperated working-over. Transit nerds and advocates for safer streets will relish the detailed conceptual battle map drawn here."
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Finally, the whistleblower we’ve all been waiting for! Wes Marshall is much more than that—including a great storyteller—but with Killed by a Traffic Engineer, his role in history has been secured: pulling back the curtain and exposing the inner workings of an entire profession based on a foundation of the purest hooey."
—Jeff Speck author of Walkable City and Walkable City Rules
"Very few transportation books remain influential 20 or 30 years after they are published. Wes Marshall’s Killed by a Traffic Engineer may well be one of them. It won’t let you look at our streets the same way ever again."
—Donald Shoup, author of The High Cost of Free Parking
