    I have seen some cool videos about this, although they are kind of boring I guess…. Using infrastructure to bring the speed limit down naturally and force drivers to keep their hands on the wheel

      Traffic calming is a thing, but not what I’m talking about.

      I’m talking about repealing zoning restrictions in order to allow traditional development again, which (since property owners aren’t forced by law to cater to cars), tends to have walkable density that discourages driving.

      In other words, you don’t have to worry about bad drivers if almost nobody’s driving to begin with.
