What you’re looking at is the visual representation of the difference between 35 people in single-occupant cars and those same 35 people in a multi-modal distribution. The municipal government of Denver, CO was the creative force behind this visualization.

Edit: Thanks to Jacquie Phelan for noticing that the old Denver photos (hotlinked) had been removed. I replaced it here with photos staged in Muenster to much the same effect.

    I don’t know… I don’t have an answer, but I think a worthy pursuit in life is to ask questions the answers to which cannot be Googled. It’s often useful just to articulate the problem, and that may be all we can do. — Phillip Barron "Doping scandals spoiling the spirit of sports"
