TAKE IT EASY CAN TRAFFIC BE 'CALM' IF DRIVERS ARE NOT?
2002
Overview
In last week's PG North, we published a story that started thusly: \"Marshall supervisors Monday adopted a traffic-calming policy ...\" The story goes on. The mind does not. \"Traffic- calming.\" \"Traffic-calming.\" Yes, kids, that's really putting \"traffic\" and \"calm\" together in one idea, which is kind of like blending matter and antimatter. And if I recall high school physics correctly, blending matter and antimatter yields an explosion more powerful than any splitting atom could achieve. Or maybe it yields water. High school physics was a long time ago. For instance, the residents pushing traffic-calming in Marshall hail from Sewickley Farms, a housing plan with a main road that makes a mile-long loop. It looks doggone much like a NASCAR track, with a front straightaway nearly a half-mile long. Do drivers speed there? I have no doubt. Why? Partly because you can see well and partly because the speed limit is a ridiculous 20 mph. So if we must, for political reasons, calm traffic, let's use traffic-calming devices that reflect reality by letting drivers reach that 85th percentile speed without crushing their cars' suspensions and spilling coffee on themselves.
