Tricking Drivers Into Slowing Down With More Green Lights—It's By Design
www.thedrive.com
To cut down on speeding, some cities are experimenting with timing traffic lights so drivers who do the speed limit can ride an endless wave of green.

Because who needs traffic calming measures and bollards and roundabouts, right?

    There’s a residential stroad near me that does this without advertising it. It’s a neat trick if you know about it, but a solid majority of the folks I see on that street just haul ass from red light to red light (and I catch up to them right when it turns green again).

    I’m not too optimistic about traffic calming coming up in this road’s future. Maybe it’ll get speed cameras.
