No thanks, I’m good. You guys go ahead and ticket each other until you all go bankrupt. The rest of us will just stand right here and watch the whole stupidity unfold.

    While that’s a better solution on paper, it’s naive. Even if you change it 100% of the time, if you need these measures to make people comply now, you’ll need them then, too. You can tell people whatever you want, but the fact is, they’re going to put themselves first most of the time. The guy who fucked around and made himself late for work is always gonna prioritize getting there on time no matter what until that clearly represents further hardship.

      no.

      traffic calming devices use physics. a car cannot travel through a chicane above the maximum designed speed. bollards stop vehicles from endangering people by being solid.

      you don’t need humans to enforce the laws of physics, that’s why traffic calming works.

        Isn’t 60% of USA riding SUVs? Physics point kinda moot.

          heavier vehicles corner worse. traffic calming is more effective
