To prepare for thousands of cars traversing a residential road daily, a small Utah city installed traffic-calming slabs to improve safety for walkers and bikers. It didn't go over well.
As the city redesigned 1200 West to better connect State Route 252 with communities in the southern end of Cache Valley, officials installed a protected bike lane, enhanced pedestrian crossings and curves in the road to slow traffic. They also put in raised concrete slabs at intersections to force drivers into slower, wider turns.
Not surprising, everyone says they want safer roads but won’t give up the F350 to haul their larded ass around or drive even slightly slower…

Instead of enforcing traffic laws, municipalities now want to turn the roads into obstacle courses so people can’t even drive at the designed speed.
They should simply enforce the law! How hard is that. You just pass the law, and the police do it!

It literally pays for itself. Do they not have traffic cops where you live?
We do, and they do not care.
The speed limit is a maximum, not a minimum.
Cops, even ignoring the fact that ACAB, are flawed in that they can’t enforce traffic laws everywhere all the time.
Infrastructure can make a road safe 24/7. And doesn’t discriminate nor shoot minorities.
Good
