Default An alternative view of traffic control

Tom Anderson wrote the following in:


There has been quite a bit of work on schemes like this. What it
comes down to is presenting drivers with something unfamiliar -
when they lose all the signs and markings they're used to, they
don't know what's going on, so they slow down. The problem is,
once they get used to it, it doesn't work, and they get faster
again. Perhaps the solution is to keep changing the signs and
markings every few months!


But intrinsic in the design is the fact that you can't go through it
faster, it'd be like going round a blind corner faster. You have to
slow down and think because to negotiate it successfully you have to
see what's going on there and decide what to do.
