My apartment is part of a large complex, accessed by a single dead-end driveway (branching off into many parking lots). People don't drive fast on that driveway since it's useless as a shortcut, but the mgmt opted to play it safe and put a fuckton of very steep speed bumps on it

The speedbumps mainly damage cars, with no serious impact on driving speeds. If they really wanted people to drive carefully through the driveway, they would be better off making it a lot narrower! A dead-end access road doesn't need to be 32' curb to curb

Driving on a state highway, whipping along at 50mph, and suddenly you're in a town center and a cop is pulling you over for not dropping to 25mph...even though the road has exactly the same dimensions that it did in the woods, wide enough to safely operate at 80, let alone 50!

Can't have autobahns in America cause retarded drivers here don't understand "keep right unless passing" That's the core unwritten law upon which the true German highway thrives

it's explicit in American law (at least in the states I drive in) for all the good that does

which is why it will work as an unwritten law or not at all

It is an explicit law out here in the Rockies, posted signs and all.......nobody gets ticketed for it as they cruise along at 73mph in the left lane of a 2 lane 75mph speed limit interstate. Commonality gone and it's why we can't have nice things

What do you think of swapping most traffic lights for roundabouts? Everything I’ve read suggests roundabouts significantly reduce accidents.
-
I'm strongly in favor, but I keep seeing American roundabouts devote far too much space to the central "island" which frankly doesn't need to be much more than a pillar to drive around (rather than through)
