ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Road diet

Road diet is a change that happens to a street to make it safer for everyone. With a road diet, the street gets narrower. This makes it so there is less room for people to drive too fast and makes it more comfortable for people who are walking and biking. To do this, the street could be changed so that it has fewer travel lanes or the lanes are made narrower. This helps slow down people who are driving and it also makes it easier to cross the street because there is less traffic.
