Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Temporary medians, curb bump-outs and a roundabout were in place Tuesday in the JeffVanderLou neighborhood in St. Louis in hopes of illustrating that streets with slower traffic are safer streets.

The so-called “pop-up traffic calming” demonstration — the fourth this fall — was happening on Thomas Street and Sheridan Avenue, between Glasgow and Garrison avenues, and on Garrison between Sheridan and Thomas.

It comes at a time when St. Louis is grappling with an unusually high number of pedestrian deaths.
