    Adjusting a speed limit is not enough, road engineers need to implement actual traffic calming measures to slow people down…

    Fun fact, US pedestrian deaths went up during covid because there were fewer drivers and people could speed more easily.

      In my country speeding cams work kinda well. People cry af about them but it’s almost funny seeing traffic suddenly slow down in certain points.

        Speed cameras on Brazil have a lot of warnings before the camera is placed, so people slow down before the camera and reduces crashes.
