The Federal Highway Administration quietly stripped bike lanes and other safety recommendations from a key list of best practices. Critics say those measures are proven to cut crashes and save lives.

Bike lanes, variable speed limits, speed safety cameras, appropriate speed limits for all road users, and road diets

Were all the things removed

our traffic fatalities by 100,000 inhabitants far exceeds that of many industrialized countries and puts the U.S. in the company of Chile and Costa Rica

    What they do here (not the USA obviously) is subtract the uncertainty of the speed camera from your measured velocity. So for example, the camera might record you driving at 80 km/h, but you would be fined as if you were driving 75 km/h (precise numbers may differ).

    The odometer of cars is (at least here) actually calibrated upward. So it would show (for example) 120 km/h when you’re actually driving 115 km/h.
