Anyways, I think this is a good idea for normal streets.

    To make them stay in the center of the line, instead of wobbling left and right unnerving the people on the sides. Overall I'd try apply them on normal streets to make them feel more and more controlled, basically a tighter leash, so they say "fuck it, I'll take the train", idk.

        "Don't touch the black parts, stay in the center, the red path"

        You know like coloring books for small children the drawings have really thick black lines.

          I think this is running on the assumption that people generally give a shit about traffic lines further than "it might damage my car if I don't" and this has not been true in my observation. People treat the roadspace as a free for all where you can go and do whatever you want, largely. Unless, of course, you might scratch your car.

          I mean this is traffic at a near standstill and I count the the red car in the rightmost lane, the black car one row up in the center-right lane, the big-ass SUV in the center-left lane near the photo, the black sedan at the leftmost lane in the foreground, the brown-gold car in the center-left lane bit up ahead in the picture, one van looking thing in the center lane just beyond the bar, the white sedan in the center-right lane just below the bar, the car nearly entirely obstructed by the bar in the rightmost lane, the white car in the center lane about midway between bar and sign fucking it up already
