The two things I miss most about living in CT are that they know how to do garbage pick-up and they know how to drive.
Enforcement should really be a last resort. By the time you're relying on it, you're basically already conceding that your city's infrastructure is a failure.
Honestly, in a lot of places we could get by with narrower streets, which have an effect of reducing overall traffic speeds. Like, does Pleasant St need to be nearly wide enough for 4 lanes when it's got a 30mph speed limit at most? Does Mill St need to be the 4-lane-with-median monstrosity for most of its length? People driving faster is going to lead to more reckless behavior at intersections.
For particularly complicated intersections, we could see improvement with traffic circles. I'm thinking the Main/Major Taylor/Highland/Belmont/Grove mess (yes I know it used to be a traffic circle, maybe that wasn't wrong?), the Main/Mill/Webster intersection, or the weird triangle intersection with Lincoln and Burncoat would be helped by this.
