That's why UK limits are set by presence of street lights rather than signs designed to encourage a "safe speed" and why you have reckless, careless and dangerous driving laws. <br />Anyone likely to drive an unsafe speed for the conditions down streets like this is the sort of person who will not be going slower because the council stuck some signs up.

A more psychologistic answer (and not incompatible with a physical answer, of course) would be to suggest that we experience our tools as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_mind_thesis" rel="nofollow">extensions of our bodies</a> and if we are getting fatter, then our tools will get fatter too ... (and not just cars either).<br /><br />Of course it could be the other way round couldn't it? Hmmm. Or even worse a positve feedback loop.

That said: it's essentially impossible not to block roundabouts with lights as you can enter them when green, then block them when the light needed to progress goes red. Bad attempt at retrofitting "scheduling fairness" to a design (i.e. giving everyone a chance to pull out, even if nobody exits into their arm of the junction).Bristol Traffichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086394853567703369noreply@blogger.com
