Default GA is priceless

No, the most important thing is for taxpayers (AKA: "Users") to lynch
traffic "engineers" who insist on foisting such silliness as
"roundabouts", "left turn only" arrows, and other "traffic calming
devices" on the rest of us.

A couple of years ago, right here in Iowa City, a bunch of these
so-called "engineers" installed (without warning or local input)
"chicanes" on a straight length of residential street, in an effort to
slow traffic. (Apparently one of the neighbors had repeatedly
complained about speeders.)

Was down in southern Mexico last fall. Along the highways out into the
rural areas were small settlements of a few houses. In these areas
citizens get together and construct their own speed bumps. Did a great
job of speed control without a policeman in sight. Quite cost
effective.
