 So this is this is kind of a mic check to see who's Who's ended up subscribing to my YouTube channel and to find out if what I'm about to do is interesting to you it turns out that I Created my YouTube channel back in March of 2006 And I thought maybe that's when I got my Gmail account But it turns out that I posted a bunch of videos about Hans Monderman a Dutch traffic engineer back in 2006 They still occasionally get a little bit of attention I'll get a request from a magazine to use them or something like that He was the guy who invented or helped invent traffic calming and he did traffic calming across Europe across Holland actually for 40 years calming some hundred and thirty different cities helping them redesign streets and intersections removing Stoplights and stop signs and redesigning the intersections.
