## Resource

Shelburne police made 33 traffic stops in hours last Friday—mostly for speeding and aggressive driving. But here’s the twist: maybe the roads themselves are part of the problem, designed to tempt drivers to go faster. The real fix? Traffic calming measures like narrower lanes, speed bumps, and circles that naturally slow things down. Shelburne’s testing these ideas—and learning from what sticks (like some Falls Road features) and what doesn’t. Enforcement matters, but safer streets need smarter design too.
