One of the more interesting books I've read recently: http://tomvanderbilt.com/traffic/the-book/ http://tomvanderbilt.com/traffic/the-book/
makes the assertion that just about everything done to make roads safer, like barriers, rumble strips, separate bike lines, traffic calming etc. gets negated by people driving faster because they have a greater sense of security.
- Rizz 13y ago"Negated" is certainly overstating things, traffic deaths have been going down for decades in the US and European countries, so the combination of safety features in roads and cars, driver education work well enough to offset any worsening of driver culture (alleged increase of speeding, more cell phone use, etc.)
