Ran into a city planner at the Co-op, changed how I see our roads

Was grabbing a burrito at the Downtown Co-op last Thursday and ended up chatting with a guy who works for the city's transit department. He mentioned that the constant lane shifts on Central aren't a mistake, they're deliberate to slow traffic near the crossings. I always figured it was just bad planning, but he showed me a quick map on his phone of crash data from last year. It hit different because I commute that stretch daily and now I notice the design every time. Has anyone else talked to someone in the city who made you look at a familiar spot differently?
