Traffic calming and effective street cross-sections

Glasgow street has some really annoying traffic calming on the hill coming off Fischer-Hallman with the bike lane turning into a paved boulevard that people use for their garbage cans. It's just suc a grab bag of islands and stuff but it doesn't really seem to make much difference whenever I pass through people are going well over 40

Of course, part of the problem there is that the limit on Glasgow should be 60, because it is a major regional thoroughfare, not a local residential street. The fact that it is lined with houses is just a planning screw-up. It’s one of the original roads and should have been designated as primarily a traveling route, not local access, when the city expanded to include it.

And most people here know how much I support car culture.
