These massive signs will not slow many down. What actually needs to happen is improved road design. Adding pinch points, chicanes, boulevard trees, strategic/illusion paint, speed humps & cushions, mini roundabouts, etc. are what's needed...& maybe a little wind turbine to power the street lights 😉
