Last week, our team headed to Brit’s Pub for our annual lawn bowling outing. It was a great afternoon to step away from the office, enjoy some friendly competition, and spend time together as a team. #LifeAtISS #TeamISS #CompanyCulture #FunCommittee

In this edition of Field Notes, we explore how observing exposure, constraints, repetition, and speed can reveal the conditions that create risk—long before crash data tells the story. Read the full article → ow.ly/RSOm50Zm7jM #FieldNotes #TrafficSafety #RoadSafety

Today, we celebrate the freedoms that bring our communities together and honor those who have helped protect them. As you enjoy the holiday with family and friends, we wish you a safe, happy, and memorable Independence Day. Have a wonderful Fourth of July! 🎆

Speed doesn’t become dangerous everywhere—it becomes dangerous somewhere. Join Seth Anderson at the ITE Western District Annual Meeting as he shares a practical framework for speed management. We hope to see you there!

The first story usually isn’t the whole story. A Cleveland corridor project started with concerns about bicycle activity. But movement data revealed hundreds of pedestrians crossing midblock. Read this issue of Field Notes: open.substack.com/pub/images… #VisionZero #TrafficSafety

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. We are grateful for those who served and for the families who continue to carry their legacy forward. #HonorAndRemember #ThankYou

Our latest Field Notes explores why visual context changes conversations around roadway safety and decision-making. It’s a reminder that data points people to a problem, but seeing behavior often drives action. Read the latest post here: ow.ly/TQx350YW4pT #FieldNotes

“No Turn on Red” is often treated as a simple safety fix. But in practice, it can introduce new risks when it doesn’t align with how people actually behave. This week’s Field Notes looks at where it falls short—and why that matters. ow.ly/tbek50YOHFy

Crowdsourced data shows you where to look. But it doesn’t show how people actually move. Observed behavior reveals the workarounds, delays, and decisions happening and why they matter. The real insight comes from combining both. This week’s Field Notes. ow.ly/G0gR50YGF4W

In this edition of Field Notes, we explore how waiting changes driver behavior. At one location we analyzed, average gaps fall below what's typically sufficient for a comfortable, safe entry. Read the full article to see what this reveals. ow.ly/aERn50YznPQ

What does a pedestrian crossing really tell us about a street? Sometimes the most important insight isn't that someone crossed—it’s how long they had to wait and how drivers respond when a pedestrian enters the roadway. More in the latest Field Notes. ow.ly/t1RY50YsQI9

Speed alone doesn’t create harm. Harm emerges where higher speeds, speed variation, and vulnerable road user exposure intersect. Those overlaps aren’t random — they cluster in identifiable segments Read the latest Field Notes: ow.ly/nJrn50Ymyrj,

Pedestrian crossings aren’t random—they’re responses to conditions. This week’s Field Notes looks at where people actually cross the street when movement is observed over time. Read More → ow.ly/nFQq50YcfxH #FieldNotes #TrajectoryBasedObservation #DataDrivenSafety

Speed isn’t just a number—it’s a series of choices. This week’s Field Notes explores what is visible when speed is observed through movement rather than summarized at a point. Read More → ow.ly/yuG650Y5sPv #FieldNotes #Trajectory-basedObservation #DataDrivenSafety
