      I agree, but you are making excuses for bad driving. It’s still their fault that they drive too fast.

          But similarly, human behavior can be trained. We aren’t NPCs. These bad drivers could be taught to drive at a safe speed regardless of the width of the street, through stricter education and enforcement. Pedestrians/cyclists/homes/businesses around the street -> drive slow, that should be an instinct.

              As I said, I completely agree that changing the shape of the road is an important component of this solution.

              Yes, I am asking the operators of deadly heavy machinery to put in a small amount of conscious effort to keep people safe. Why is that an impossible request?
