Do you know Smeed’s Law?

The British engineer stated speed of urban traffic is self-regulating—attempts to increase it are self-defeating.

Avg. speed for #London traffic in 1949: 9 mph
Avg. speed of London traffic 65 years later: 8.98 mph.
Bicycles have always been faster. https://t.co/zkLWO6ls9s
