thoughts percolating.

i'm looking for critiques of Monderman's signal-removal theory. the bios suggest that he recognizes limits -- signalless streets need to be complemented by a [presumably] access-controlled high-speed system. I'd like to know more of that.
of course the news articles are all shallow-view: "hey this magic idea is so wacky it just might work!".
