THREAD: It's a lot easier - and friendlier - to design our streets so that it is difficult to make a life-threatening mistake on them, rather than enforcing them 24/7 - an unsustainable goal. #safestreets When a street is designed like a dragstrip, drivers will use it as such. That's why it's impossible to enforce our way out of speeding.

But by using the psychology of design (check out Vox's Norman Doors video), we can create streets that automatically encourage safe driving.
