Presis og nettopp. Hvor mange skal måtte dø før kosegruppen revurderer?
Tar litt tid før de som er vant til å ha ubegrenset veirett oppdager at veiene er under omdanning. De to man skal forbanne heter Hans Monderman og Walter Kulash. Men siden det de har stått bak har vært utrolig effektivt og har sørget for økt traffikflyt og dramatisk fall i antall ulykker, vil nok også naustgubbene til slutt la seg omvende.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_calming
Traffic calming can include the following engineering measures, grouped by similarity of method:[8]
Narrowing: Narrowing traffic lanes makes slower speeds seem more natural to drivers and are less intrusive than other treatments that limit speed or restrict route choice. Narrowing measures include:
Lane narrowings can be created by extending sidewalks, adding bollards or planters, or adding a bike lane or on-street parking[9].
Curb extensions (also called bulbouts) narrow the width of the roadway at pedestrian crossings
Chokers are curb extensions that narrow roadways to a single lane at certain points[10]
Road diets remove a lane from the street. For example, allowing parking on one or both sides of a street to reduce the number of driving lanes.
Pedestrian refuges or small islands in the middle of the street can help reduce lane widths.
Converting one-way streets into two-way streets forces opposing traffic into close proximity, which requires more careful driving.
Construction of polymer cement overlay to change asphalt to brick texture and color to indicate high traffic crosswalk
Using polymer cement overlay applies a brick texture and appearance to asphalt surfaces to indicate a high traffic crosswalk.
Vertical deflection: Raising a portion of a road surface can create discomfort for drivers travelling at high speeds. Both the height of the deflection and the steepness affect the severity of vehicle displacement.
These include:
Speed bumps, sometimes split or offset in the middle to avoid delaying emergency vehicles
Speed humps, parabolic devices that are less aggressive than speed bumps.
Speed cushions, two or three small speed humps sitting in a line across the road that slow cars down but allows wider emergency vehicles to straddle them so as not to slow emergency response time.
Speed tables, long flat-topped speed humps that slow cars more gradually than humps
Raised pedestrian crossings, which act as speed tables, often situated at intersections.
Changing the surface material or texture (for example, the selective use of brick or cobblestone). Changing in texture may also including changing in color to highlight to drivers that they are in a pedestrian centric zone.
Horizontal deflection, i.e. make the vehicle swerve slightly. These include:
Chicanes, which create a horizontal deflection that causes vehicles to slow as they would for a curve.
Pedestrian refuges again can provide horizontal deflection, as can curb extensions and chokers.
Block or restrict access. Such traffic calming means include:
Median diverters to prevent left turns or through movements into a residential area.
Converting an intersection into a cul-de-sac or dead end.
Boom barrier, restricting through traffic to authorised vehicles only.
Closing of streets to create pedestrian zones.
Other means
Quite often residents have used a variety of homemade devices ranging from faux enforcement camera signs and even faux speed cameras and including dummy police. Some Canadian communities erect flexible bollards in the middle of the street in school zones. The bollards have a sign affixed indicating a 40 km/hr speed limit.
