"U.S. had built: wide roads, even in city centers, that seemed to invite speeding." Not true in Lincoln. Neither straight nor wide.
"What the U.S. can do to change this is obvious, advocates say: like outfitting trucks with side underride guards to prevent people from being pulled underneath, or narrowing the roads that cars share with bikes so that drivers intuit they should drive slower." Lincoln roads are narrow and winding as they follow the design of our earliest “roads”-cart paths. Those paths were designed to avoid arable land and wetlands and be as narrow as possible. If, indeed, narrow roads reduce speeds, perhaps we should consider leaving the roadside uncut and create an even greater perception of a narrow road.
