So you make the cars slow down. You narrow their lanes and put a median in. Add speed bumps or pavers if necessary. Here in Hanoi (terrible example), you're lucky if you have 30' ROW on non-thourghfare roads. If cars need to go long distances, they take the highways. When they're on streets, they go slowly, stopping to crawl around eachother when they need to pass, not insist its their God-given right to barrel down a street at 80 km.
