    All streets should have a speed limit of 20 mph. All roads 35 mph. Highways 50 mph. Stroads should not exist.

      People mostly drive at what feels like a safe speed for the road, regardless of speed limit. Lowering the speed limit significantly below that speed makes roads much more dangerous

        I find that if the speed limit in a city interstate is 65, people go 70, but if it’s 55, people go 80-85

        Good road design lowers the number people like to travel at. All these speed goals are easily obtainable if the road is narrow enough.
