The easiest and most effective thing we could do to lower traffic - TopicsExpress



          

The easiest and most effective thing we could do to lower traffic fatalities is ENFORCE SPEED LIMITS. In 25MPH zones, everyone drives 30MPH. People interpret speed limits as a minimum, not a maximum, and get angry at other drivers who obey them. Actual stats show that slowing from 30MPH to 20MPH lowers the fatality rate by a factor of NINE. We should enforce the limit with zero margin. Exceed the speed limit by even 1MPH and you get a ticket and a point. This will save TENS OF THOUSANDS OF LIVES per year.
