The counterintuitive thing to do is to make roads "feel" unsafe to make them safe. A example of this (here done for laugh) is [0], where a single lane muddy curvy hillside road has a speed limit of 80 km/h (50 mph). The point I would like to make here is that on a street like this is it impossible to joyride and even with low visibility intersections the risk of a T-bone or a fatal crash is minuscule. This particular example is a strawman of the problem: there are many reasons why most roads cannot be like this, it is just an example of "If the drivers have to pay attention they will pay attention" [0] https://funsubstance.com/fun/294735/irish-speed-sign/ https://funsubstance.com/fun/294735/irish-speed-sign/
