ref: 2017 June 30, David Sachs, “DPW Moves Forward With Making Quebec Street a Wide, Dangerous Stroad Instead of Prioritizing People Over Cars”, in Streetsblog Denver:
text: Roads I ride on: […] Very frequently, a four lane suburban stroad with 30,000 to 40,000 cars per day. 12 foot lanes. That's a tough one, because it's sort of sharable with a tiny car (Fiat 500, VW Beetle) if the driver is careful. But anyone else will be passing too close.
ref: 2019 January 27, Frank Krygowski, “AG: Lit Crit wanted”, in rec.bicycles.misc (Usenet), message-ID <q2lvot$tda$1@dont-email.me>:
text: A stroad has the driveways, intersections, and crosswalks (sometimes!) of a street, but the higher speed-limit of a road, perhaps 45 mph (70 kph) or more. Oh, and one more thing. The stroad has the multiple lanes of travel one might associate with an avenue (in Manhattan, say) or a limited access highway.

contact geometry
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: contact geometries
Senses: examples: text: The defining conditions for a contact geometry are opposite to two equivalent conditions for complete integrability of a hyperplane distribution: i.e. that it be tangent to a codimension 1 foliation on the manifold, whose equivalence is the content of the Frobenius theorem.
text: The contact geometry is in many ways an odd-dimensional counterpart of the symplectic geometry, a structure on certain even-dimensional manifolds. The concepts of contact geometry and symplectic geometry are both motivated by the mathematical formalism of classical mechanics, where one can consider either the even-dimensional phase space of a mechanical system or the constant-energy hypersurface, which, being of codimension 1, has odd dimension.
text: 2004, Ko Honda, 3-Dimensional Methods in Contact Geometry, Simon Donaldson, Yakov Eliashberg, Misha Gromov (editors), Different Faces of Geometry, Springer (Kluwer Academic), page 47,
A contact manifold (M,ζ) is a (2n+1)-dimensional manifold M equipped with a smooth maximally nonintegrable hyperplane field ζ⊂TM, i.e., locally, ζ= ker α, where α is a 1-form which satisfies α∧(dα)ⁿ ne 0. Since dα is a nondegenerate 2-form when restricted to ζ, contact geometry is customarily viewed as the odd-dimensional sibling of symplectic geometry. Although contact geometry in dimensions > 5 is still in an incipient state, contact structures in dimension 3 are much better understood, largely due to the fact that symplectic geometry in two dimensions is just the study of area.
qualifier: differential geometry
glosses: Given a smooth manifold of odd dimensionality, a distribution (subset) of the tangent bundle that satisfies the condition of complete nonintegrability, or equivalently may be locally defined as the kernel of a maximally nondegenerate differential 1-form;
