I just saw this GIF that happens to show the importance of a good streetscape design.
Cover the outside thirds of the GIF and then cover only the inside third of the GIF. You should notice that the image appears to slow down doing the first and speed up doing the second.
This reminds me of Queen St. S., where the speed limit is 50 km/h, but people tend to drive at or slightly slower than 50 km/h, thanks to the street lamps, trees, and other items close to the roadside that makes them think they're driving faster than they may normally think.
