Impound speeding cars for a day per % over the speed limit (after some
arbitrary cutoff like 5mph). That'll soon prevent speeding. Combine that
with concealed cameras.

Priority to the left in residential streets (as per the continent).

Both these two would make the roads much safer in built up areas

(and scrap the speed bumps).
