We have to design the streets so that the lower speed feels reasonable. I know I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but it’s always worth saying.
minus-squareBrosplosion@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoYep, have a highway by me that is three lanes (sometimes 4), has good sized shoulders on both sides, median divider, and it’s pretty much dead straight. Speed limit is 55mph but most people go 70 or more cause you can without issue.
