Indeed, it is often said that the greatest architects of change may never live to fully experience the worlds they create. William Phelps Eno, revered as the "Father of Traffic Safety," is a prime example of this paradox. While he was the mastermind behind many of the fundamental elements of modern traffic control—such as the stop sign, zebra crossing, roundabout, one-way street, taxi stand, and pedestrian footpath—he never actually learned to drive a vehicle himself. His genius lay not in the act of driving but in the vision of how traffic could be harmoniously regulated, paving the way for the orderly systems that guide us today. As Eno might have appreciated, sometimes the most profound contributions come not from the journey itself, but from the clarity of direction.
