    Narrowing roads and making them less straight also lowers speeding

      For reasonable people yes, but those that go 30km/h over the speed limit every time don’t care and will always drive as fast as possible in those sections. I once met a guy who claimed to know down to the exact last km/h how fast he could drive until the car lost control in every single curve of a quite curvy road segment. Is it save to drive like that? Absolutely fucking not. Does he car(e)? Also absolutely fucking not.

        People like that are gonna cause accidents anyways.

        Studies have shown that accidents are more likely to be severe/fatal on wide, straight roads.
