UK optical illusion of big hole to slow cyclists




This reminds me of something from the "Traffic" book I read.
Create wide off-colour curbs, although they are a functional road surface.
This makes the street feel narrower, and therefore less safe.
Subjectively, folks think driving slower is a good idea.

Instead, we encourage speeding by making the roads feel particularly open and safe.
And.... encourage speeding.
