With apologies for the Twitter link, this is an excellent thread on why paving without traffic calming is unacceptable: https://twitter.com/BerkSafeStreets/status/1737951950228877754
The key finding from @navgattu is that speeds on a recently-repaved street in #Berkeley went up by about 5 mph—next to a school—because the poor condition of the pavement was effectively acting as traffic calming before. Our position (https://www.berkeleysafestreets.com) is that paving and safety features need to be paired.
