Boris Johnson's Narrow Escape

One of the most successfull trials was in manchester where they made the road in crazy paving the same height and style as the pavements. drivers automatically slowed up as they were made aware how close they were to peds.
Speed cameras should all fuck off as should speed bumps, but the penalties for dangerous driving should be 10 times more severe and being banned for life should be part and parcel

I thought that was pioneered somewhere in the Netherlands - they did it to an entire town. I think that the Manchester trial was based on the success of the project in the Netherlands.
