If only we could come up with a third color that could indicate that the light would soon become red, rather than a number that's entirely illegible from 50 feet away.

That's ganna cause so much gridlock and rear accidents. Traffic cams are already proven to be more of a safety hazard

That just makes things worse.

I mean, I'm not liking that but I'm not hating it. Let's do it

But, we can have speed limiting devices to slow people down at crosswalks. But, but, we can also put bins with foam bricks at crosswalks to make drivers think their car is at risk if they act like a jerk.

You'll feel fewer bumps the faster you go

Definitely with the more bumps you take.

Or maybe bollards that pop up when the light turns red. v

I live in Idaho and I guarantee you that every single intersection would be littered with car parts 24/7. I'm all for this idea

Considering the inverse, potholes, doesn't stop people I find it hard to see how this will

Maybe just practice honestly. If you're used to being able to gun it and speed through, then the one time you hit a pothole is an outlier and doesn't change your habit, but if every single time there's a bunch together, then you either form the habit of slowing down and waiting, or you ruin your suspension

Me thinks you don't realize how bad potholes get in some regions if you think hitting on is an outlier

I think pedestrian crosswalks should be raised to the level of the sidewalk on side streets... if cars want to drive fast, without interruption, get on the freeway.

How would you expect the vehicles to cross it? Most can't clear a sidewalk, at least not without damage.

Oh, I don't know, maybe the car could slow the fuck down when entering a crosswalk? It would basically be a speedbump, but the key is that pedestrians wouldn't have to go down into a puddle to enter the 'domain of cars'.

I have a car, I use it to pick up groceries and get me to the train station (I also have doggy monsters and I use it to take them to the vet)... cars are cool... they are an extremely inefficient way to commute.
