What do you think about designing our streets so that cars won't drive faster than the speed limit simply because they wouldn't feel safe doing so? Narrow winding streets, on-sreet signs, raised intersections, concrete medians, paving stones, etc.

For roads, where faster traffic is required, we could avoid danger to bicycles by having a network of bicycle tracks that is separate from car traffic, or protected bike lanes where the geography makes it difficult.

all for it. Every time I race in europe I very much enjoy this engineering concept put into action. The Netherlands & Denmark has it completely figured out and it works great.
