The Federal Highway Administration quietly stripped bike lanes and other safety recommendations from a key list of best practices. Critics say those measures are proven to cut crashes and save lives.

Bike lanes, variable speed limits, speed safety cameras, appropriate speed limits for all road users, and road diets

Were all the things removed

our traffic fatalities by 100,000 inhabitants far exceeds that of many industrialized countries and puts the U.S. in the company of Chile and Costa Rica

    What context am I missing? The person I replied to said they’d support them if they were proven to improve safety, I gave a source proving they increase safety.

    The only thing I can think of is the guy further up in the thread saying they were ticketing for going 46 when they were 43, which is still over the limit of 40, everyone down voting the guy who mentioned that, and the guy I responded to making up a scenario where they get a ticket for getting clocked at 43 when they were going 40 when that will not happen, almost all jurisdictions will not give you a ticket for going less then 5 over on a speeding camera.
