Default Everything we know about traffic-calming is wrong

Nor is that a new thing - JS Dean commented on in in 1946! The signs
and markings were expunged pretty much completely, as I recall;
certainly centrelines and give way markings, and in some cases
they've tried removing traffic lights as well.


So do you think the roads would be, overall, safer, if all signs (say except
direction signs) and lining schemes were removed?
