Default Everything we know about traffic-calming is wrong

Yes. Cobbled Streets. Durable and encouraging of slower driving.

Not actually durable - you'll often find structural subsidence in
cobbled streets. The surface is quite long lasting tho' - but at the
cost of having /very/ low grip, and even worse in the wet!


Subsidence depends on how it's been set. The stones themselves will
last centuries - there are examples of Roman surfaces still around.
Sod grip. You should drive more slowly - as you already do when you
have no grip due to adverse road conditions. The purpose would have
been achieved.
