base on Transportation planning and traffic simulation software for creating cities friendlier to walking, biking, and public transit # A/B Street [](https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/135952436) [](https://discord.gg/nCvMD4xj4K) Ever been stuck in traffic on a bus, wondering why is there legal street parking instead of a dedicated bus lane? A/B Street is a project to plan, simulate, and communicate visions for making cities friendlier to people walking, biking, and taking public transit. We create software to [simulate traffic, edit streets and intersections](https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/software/abstreet.html), [plan bike networks](https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/software/ungap_the_map/index.html), create [low-traffic neighborhoods](https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/software/ltn/index.html), and educate the public about [15-minute neighborhoods through games](https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/software/santa.html). The project works anywhere in the world, thanks to [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/about). - Run it on [your web browser](https://play.abstreet.org/0.3.49/abstreet.html), [Windows](https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet/releases/download/v0.3.49/abstreet_windows_v0_3_49.zip), [Mac](https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet/releases/download/v0.3.49/abstreet_mac_v0_3_49.zip), [Linux](https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet/releases/download/v0.3.49/abstreet_linux_v0_3_49.zip), [FreeBSD](https://www.freshports.org/games/abstreet/), or [read all instructions](https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/user/index.html) - [build from source](https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/tech/dev/index.html) As of January 2024, development of the tools above has slowed down, because newer tools are being developed in other repositories.

We believe in transparent and reproducible analysis, so all of our work is open source and based on public data. We believe everybody should have a voice in shaping their city, so our software aims to be easy to use. Why not leave city planning to professionals? People are local experts on the small slice of the city they interact with daily -- the one left turn lane that always backs up or a certain set of poorly timed walk signals.

Existing urban planning software is either proprietary or hard to use. A/B Street strives to be highly accessible, by being a fun, engaging game.
