Curved streets keep traffic moving slowly



London, Ontario, is considering a speed limit of 40 km/h in residential areas. I find that with the curved streets in my 1980s suburb, I rarely drive faster than 40 km/h. Traffic control was one of the main reason for choosing a street layout other than the more traditional grid layout with parallel streets with numerous right-angle intersections. It seems to have worked, at least where I live in the southwest of the city.

It reminds me of my aunt and uncle's area in Streetsville. Curves everywhere.
