Make 10' lanes (or narrower) the default for local streets. Require agencies to justify any decision to build wider than that. www.strongtowns.org/journal/2023...

This isn’t even true. The family of the speeding driver wouldn’t lose access to the car. They’d lose the ability to *speed* in that car, which would have a speed governor installed. Meanwhile, it’s the families whose loved ones are killed by egregiously reckless drivers who actually lose something.
