alt Hacker NewsWe use chicanes (of a sort) and single lane bottlenecks in the UK. Forcing the vehicle to turn is a pretty easy way to get people to slow down and people complain less because it's friendlier on their suspension.

They just tried something like this in some city in Minnesota (I think) and had to revert after a month from the public outcry.
