Do these designs have any impact on emergency vehicles? Or do they cost more to put in than a regular road? Do they make driving less efficient and cause more emissions? Can they be ignored like lights or stop signs?
I feel like speed cameras might be a better solution than speed bumps or other road barriers. Penalize the bad drivers up to and including taking away their driver's license if they can't comply with the rules, allow emergency vehicles to somewhat the need to do, and collect some revenue to offset the cost of enforcement of safety.
Traffic sign/signal camera are a good idea too. If you can't/won't follow the rules of the road, I think you should pay fines and eventually have your license removed. Cameras are a far more effective way to do that than officers.

Biiiiig doubt right off the bat, but I'll keep reading.
We can’t stop people free-riding, it’s part of our nature, the incurable syndrome… Free riders are among us ... if we accept that we all have this ancient flaw... we can design policies around that and change our societies for the better.
Right, ok, I guess that makes sense. How do we fix it then?
Self-knowledge: ...appearing trustworthy but being selfish can be more beneficial to the individual. We need to recognise that and make a moral choice about whether we try to use people or to work with them.
Ok, sure, for the less-selfish folks who have the capacity for self-awareness. But the more selfish folks already know this because they are exploiting it.
Education: We must teach people to think ethically for themselves, and to give them the tools to do so.
Hmm, big doubt. We've been trying to do this for ages in many societies. Not only has it not been a panacea, the selfish often hijack the education systems themselves.
Policy: Goodman believes that exposing free-riders is more beneficial than punishment.... suggesting that journalistic work exposing exploitation can be as effective... as criminal punishment.
Ok, you lost me. Maybe the book is better, but this is garbage. I don't care about changing behaviour, I want to stop the bleeding. Criminal punishment for the criminally sociopathic! This guy and Susan Collins can keep eachother company...
Technological development can destroy our sense of ourselves as rational, coherent subjects, leading to widespread suffering and destruction. But tools can also provide us with a new sense of what it means to be human, leading to new modes of expression and cultural practices.
Technology, for better or worse, affects every aspect of our lives. Our very sense of who we are is shaped and reshaped by the tools we have at our disposal.
The problem, for Stiegler, is that when we pay too much attention to our tools, rather than how they are developed and deployed, we fail to understand our reality. We become trapped, merely describing the technological world on its own terms and making it even harder to untangle the effects of digital technologies and our everyday experiences.
By encouraging us to pay closer attention to this world-making capacity, with its potential to harm and heal, Stiegler is showing us what else is possible.

Yeah, if you actually find someone app usage will drop for at least some people, maybe even most people. The more exclusive some/many folks are the less they'll open the app. Up to finding someone(s) that fully satisfy them for at least a while, and for that while that user may even be completely off the app. Maybe they even delete it. Certainly they won't compulsively be using it the same way they are when they are trying to connect.
For many (not all) users, successfully finding connections is detrimental to engagement, advertising, active user stats, etc. The incentives for the company are not geared towards helping users connect, and are geared towards always having users continually trying to connect.
