Units of measurement are at the heart of nearly every scientific and engineering discipline. And converting from one unit of measurement (miles) to another (kilometers) is commonplace and easily looked up on readily available tables, both print and online sites. But oftentimes those tables and sites don’t fully explain the proper use and context of such units, nor do they provide information on historic measurement units that are no longer used but still show up on historic survey maps and documents.

Walking and bicycling are the basic forms of travel. But modern methodologies for predicting future travel patterns, traffic congestion, parking demand, and funding priorities are based on assumptions that are incompatible with walking and bicycling.

Transportation professionals face a critical dilemma: either go with the flow by prioritizing car traffic or protect human life even if it means inconveniencing car traffic.
