Is it just me seeing a parallel between Mumbai’s roads and some “traffic calming” recommended for here in the US?

  • When I visited Mumbai what struck me is that somehow the chaos worked. I saw much less rage, violence, actual danger on the roads. Maybe it’s just my limited perspective as a brief visitor, but
  • here in the us we focus on fast, efficient roads to accept ever higher speeds, but have huge problems with road rage, deadly accidents and violence. Common recommendations include narrower roads, less clear instructions, more mixing modes of transportation, more chaos, so drivers are effectively forced to slow down, have to think, have to figure out how to make it work
