“You know what else I saw on my half-hour commute to the Slate offices? At least 30 cars idling in the bike lane for unspecified reasons—hazard lights on—forcing me to maintain forward momentum by jackknifing into the busy thoroughfare.”

    There is actually something to this. Even if you don’t decrease the size of the road, adding things to the sides of roads makes them feel less spacious, encouraging people to slow down.

      I actually noticed myself the other week driving down a busy crowded road with trams, really slowing down and concentrating.
      We could also follow India and allow cows to roam our streets freely 😉
