Bidens making cars impractical by raising gas prices, greatl! Is that why he's making food more expensive also so we will waste less? he's ahead of the curb so Thanks biden!
Driving in Netherlands isn’t required as much as US because their city planners aren’t stupid and you can walk/bike to where you want to go without getting run over
US could have nice things like this too if they didn’t have gas and car lobbies (legal corruption)
We already do all of this here in Vancouver, BC. Except it is on the new "improved" bike lanes (also, old bike lanes). Yep, the only serious slowing down of traffic we do is to bicycles, and usually unintentionally. I see all of these features all the time on the purpose build bike lanes. Very narrow. Chicanes. Rough surface. Tight turn radius. Often I just drive my bike where the cars are riding because otherwise there isn't enough space for me to ride to work fast when I need to. At least the speed bumps are usually OK on a bike. #EndCarEra
Dutch:uses different road style to slow down driver's America: uses highway for every road India: putting potholes to slow down driver's Myanmar:making a very wide road to discourage people from driving Some countries:not making roads to stop people from driving Other countries: adding mud effects so the drivers take extreme caution
I also loved how the road rises to the ped crossings so it forces them to slow down where people are walking. I wish that would happen more often in the states
In Cleveland we’ve armed all cyclist with Glock 17’s to calm truckhole ragers down. Half the time you don’t need to even shoot when they try to run you over/off the road. JK mods…
Trees around country roads are the worst. I constantly hear in the local news that some teen/20 something wrapped himself and his passengers around some tree. There are crosses everywhere next to the roads here in Germany. Dense shrubbs would be way safer in my opinion.
I believe all of this works but I also know that in the US South you can be on a narrow road with sharp turns and that just means the person behind you is guaranteed to honk when you slow down so you don't drive into the ditches on either side of the road.
Too many speed bumps can have the opposite effect. I once visited a townhouse complex that had about a dozen of those short narrow ones you have to crawl over on the main entry lane. Normally I keep a nice slow roll in quiet residential areas. These stupid speed bumps slowed me down so much I found myself accelerating in the spaces between them.
Recently I saw lane narrowing at work in the US. A cop was driving a full-size SUV down a narrow rail trail for some reason. He was driving very slowly (under 5mph) so he did not run off of the trail.

Stupid inventions
and then you have people in the uk doing 60 down country lanes
How is max verstappen so fast at chicanes?
The Netherlands:😐
This won't work in my country 🤣🤣 We Re built different
Literally pot holes and speed bumps slow me down, everything else you mentioned I would still ignore. Speed demon status lol

I know the speed bumps from France and some of them are quite high, where I wouldn't even go over them with 20, even when the sign says so.
I think you are saying "careful" and "slower" when you mean "nervous" and "tense."
Bro streets are designed like an F1 track 💀💀
Hold my beer.

"How to make your roads less efficient and unpleasant to drive on"
Also makes driving any sort of large vehicle basically impossible
Dutch:uses different road style to slow down driver's
America: uses highway for every road
India: putting potholes to slow down driver's
Myanmar:making a very wide road to discourage people from driving

Indians be like : we don't do that here… We have potholes,cattles and jaywalkers for that… Kill or get killed…or both…
Yes our city is good with road
These are so fucking dumb and dangerous for pedestrians
Well i have f150 raptor, nufin from that didnt slow me down more then the limits… speed bums r more fun on higher speed 👍
Netherlands not a place to enjoy vehicle ownership.
I drive like a maniac, I don't think this would hinder me much
Speed bumps a terrible invention. Bad for your back and bad for your car.
I hate every aspect of it. So soooo soo much
God I would hate living here
This is just a wrc stage

Most boring place to drive ever essentially
In India we don't build speed bumps, we make mountains.

The brick road idea is kind of unfortunate. Noise level something I want lowered with less cars, not increased with noisy streets.
And if they build them the wrong way cars can speed by while buses and trucks has to slow down way under speed limit.
I'm German and I was in Amsterdam once. I can tell you the winding roads are extremely confusing.

Roads are to increase speed, not slow down, if you want slow, you can travel outside road.
