    Are there any speed limiting road designs that do not cause horrible traffic backups? Because all the ones we have here do.

    I am legitimately asking. Our urban planning is atrocious here.

      That’s a feature, not a bug. The trick is there needs to be alternatives that aren’t slowed by the same traffic

      You make driving slower, people take the tram, or ride a bike

        I literally live in a city with no public transit whatsoever. The only alternative are some sidewalks, which nobody uses due to the climate and distances involved.
