Đường một chiều thì làm sao kinh doanh được
thí nghiệm tự nhiên, ở Louisville, năm 2011, áp dụng đường hai chiều -> tăng doanh thu, tăng thuế bất động sản cho nhà nước, giảm tai nạn giao thông, giảm tội phạm...

…they took advantage of (đã tận dụng lợi thế) a kind of natural experiment (thực nghiệm tự nhiên): In 2011, Louisville converted (chuyển đổi) two one-way streets near downtown, each a little more than a mile long, back to two-way traffic. In data that they gathered (dữ liệu mà thu thập) over the following three years, Gilderbloom and William Riggs found that traffic collisions (va chạm giao thông) dropped steeply (mạnh) — by 36 percent on one street and 60 percent on the other — after the conversion, even as the number of cars traveling these roads increased. Crime (tội phạm) dropped too, by about a quarter, as crime in the rest of the city was rising. Property values (giá trị bất động sản) rose, as did business revenue and pedestrian traffic, relative to before the change and to a pair of nearby comparison streets. The city, as a result, now stands to collect (thu thập) higher property tax revenues (doanh thu từ thuế bất động sản ca hơn) along these streets, and to spend less sending first-responders to accidents there.
Gilderbloom and Riggs have also done an analysis (phân tích) of the entire city of Louisville, comparing Census tracts with multi-lane one-way streets to those without them. The basic pattern holds city-wide: They found that the risk of a crash is twice as high for people riding through neighborhoods with these one-way streets. The property values in census tracts there were also about half the value of homes in the rest of the city.
