Please enlighten me with a source or link to those ideas which have been shown to fail.
Massive policed force is a clear sign that whatever it is you as a society are doing to curb traffic violations is obviously not working IMHO.
Also, I disagree, respectfully, with people who want to remove street parking. In Sweden and Holland there is a line of reasoning that goes, anything you can do to make motorist feel less safe when traveling at high speeds is a good thing. Meaning that making streets very narrow, having blind curves and the like will actually make car drivers slow down. Where as in America we give drivers super wide lanes and huge lines of sight so that they can speed up! However, Americans have a sense of entitlement to the road so I think it is possible that they would drive recklessly either way... not too sure though. Any thoughts?
