1. Introduction -- 2. Rethinking the Street as Space of Mobility, Rights, and (In)justice -- 3. Legal Geographies of the American "Right-of-Way" -- 4. The Contested Right to the Right-of-Way -- 5. Engineering the Roadway as Space of Flow -- 6. Controlling the Roadway: Signs, Markings, and Signals -- 7. "Streets for Everyone:" Intermodal Equity and Complete Streets -- 8. "Creating Real Spaces for People:" Emerging Standards for Intermodal Design -- 9. The (Block-by-Block) Fight for A More Just American Street -- 10. Towards an Equitable and Livable Street.

This book explores the geography of the everyday roadway and contemplates how regulation and design shape our streets. People may question the hegemony of cars, but reimagining public streets is a major conceptual and technical challenge. Drawing from "new mobilities" and transport studies, Prytherch addresses how streets are structured by policy standards; what it means to have a right to the street; and how a more just street would look-in both theory and practice. He summarizes key traffic statutes, case laws, and engineering manuals, and interprets these in relation to mobility rights and justice. At its core, the book moves beyond criticism to highlight emerging movements which aim to develop more complete and livable streets for everyone.
