This feels like doubling down on something that's not super effective.
The way to make traffic slower, is to make road lanes narrower. You can also add curves/trees or overhangs to add shadows to the road, which breaks up the roadway and makes it harder to reason about from a distance.
- culopatin 4y agoI don’t understand why adding things that usually make people crash is more beneficial than letting traffic normalize at a speed that may be above the legal limit. Around me people speed, but you know what’s more dangerous? People who go 55 on the left lane. And trucks that don’t move to the right lane. They are not breaking the law in regards of speed, but everyone that’s going at the normalized pace has to avoid an obstacle. I say leave the speed limit at 75, put everyone through a more difficult test, enforce lane hierarchy and enforce tickets above 90-95. This equals on a traffic speed of 80-85 that’s safer than adding trees and making narrow lanes Edit: after posting this comment I come to realize what living in the US has done to me. I immediately assumed that a road with a speed trap is a highway. Which is all I see every time I get on the car anyway. The American dream.
- xracy 4y agolol, yeah, I definitely don't mean highways :) Highways probably shouldn't have speed limits. Honestly, close to nothing should have a speed limit. How fast you can go on a highway should be entirely decided by how good your visibility is. So adding things on the sides of the road could help lower visibility by decreasing the amount of sunlight on roads.
