They can either claim land of the residents to make the road wider, they could leave it dangerous for pedestrians/bicyclists, they could shut the road down completely, or just do what they have done in the video.
Making the lanes narrow also works. That’s why they did it. Also people vandalise speed cameras so that’s not worth it, and speed bumps don’t work because people just floor it between the bumps.
Plenty of research has shown that people will drive at a speed that feels comfortable. Narrower lanes are known to cause people to slow down without additional discomfort or fining speeders.

Don’t they have outside mirrors? I use those to check for bikes before making turns… 🙄 Like I was taught in driving school.
I was taught to do that AND check your blind spot, because the mirror doesn’t catch everything.
