Behold my favorite #traffic calming device.
@davidho @milgrim how does this work, like what am I missing?
@cleatsandcode @davidho the space is so narrow any cars have to drive slowly through the bollards or risk damage to their shiny automobile. Particularly fun in my opinion is that larger cars have to be even more careful
@milgrim @cleatsandcode @davidho But drivers know that the bollards must be wide enough for normal cars, so all they have to do is miss the driver's side bollard with the driver's side wing mirror by a couple of cm, and be driving straight, and they haven't got a problem. There's no need to worry about the other side of the car.
@TimWardCam all true, but thereโ€™s direct video evidence of drivers slowing down. Crazy huh

@milgrim @TimWardCam every left lane on the autobahn in Germany when there is a construction site going. We're really used to this and even overspeed all the time. We as in my fellow Germans.

Nobody here would bat an eye on that ๐Ÿ˜… No I'm not proud on that. Our car density is simply insane.

@bekopharm @milgrim Only a very basic understanding of fluid mechanics is needed to realise that if the number of lanes on the road drops from two to one due to roadworks/construction what's needed is for everyone to drive TWICE AS FAST through the narrow bit, that way there's no queuing.
@bekopharm @milgrim @TimWardCam this is Johan Cruyff logic. His solution to traffic congestion was to abandon all speed limits on the motorways.
@Tomasso yeah.. and mandatory spikes on the dashboard would probably help too.
