  > So, then, let's assume that apps like Waze do cause a larger number of unsafe drivers to cut through residential areas. How do we fix that problem? Among the solutions: (1) Increase traffic patrols in places where the number of unsafe drivers is high, and ticket the unsafe drivers (this should be part of the response to too-high levels of unsafe drivers in an identifiable location regardless of the cause); (2) Identify and resolve the problems with the intended through-traffic thoroughfares which is causing secondary roads to be more efficient routes for through traffic; (3) If roads are intended to be used for ingress/egress of local residents and pedestrian/bicycle traffic, but not for through auto traffic, then do appropriate redesign (which often just means auto barriers in a few strategic locations) that makes them usable for the intended purpose but not for the unintended one.
