Abstract A Road Diet is roadway reconfiguration used to increase safety and livability at a low cost. Implementing Road Diets improves mobility and accessibility for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation passengers. Road Diets come in different configurations. The most common configuration turns a four-lane road (two lanes each direction) into a two-lane road with a left-turn lane in the middle.
