Peter G Furth is a researcher and professor at Northeastern University known for his work in transit planning, traffic signals, and bicycle infrastructure.[2] Furth is also considered an expert on Dutch cycling policy and history.[3][4] He is an advocate for European style cycling infrastructure to be brought to the United States.[5] Furth developed the concept of "Bicycle Priority Lane markings" in 2009 which have since been implemented in several US cities.[6] He also developed the "Level of Traffic Stress" method for categorizing cycling routes,[7] which has been adopted as an organizing concept for some local cycling maps[8][9] as well as research.
He is opposed to the concept of "vehicular cycling" developed by John Forester and instead supports the implementation of low-stress cycling networks.[10][11] Furth is also an advocate for increased pedestrian zones in downtown areas.[12]
Furth is the son of Hans G. Furth, a renowned psychology professor.[13]
