It's just one sample, but it might work in some places. Anything like these would be welcome to help cut thru traffic in neighborhoods. It's just one sample, but it might work in some places.

A big sign saying "No Through Traffic" could work along with a big speed bump and 5 mph speed limit could severely diminish traffic on those streets. If we have "Thru Streets" for cars, it only makes sense to have other streets be "Calm Streets" for pedestrians and bikes... I see your point Steve.

Making it more dangerous for cyclists like me trying to bike straight while a car is trying to swerve around the divider. Awesome series of films though, I keep continuing to learn about the the different traffic options that exist out there. Thanks for the hard work.

I like! But it could have been a little bit longer. Also, why would you want to do this? I know the answers but its not at all apparent in the video for those who don't. I like! I like!
