General Road and Highway Discussion

Strasburg got some basic traffic calming installed very recently

This kind of thing is a pretty good option for traffic calming retrofits (before they have the budget to do the full reconstruction they're doing on East Ave.). But it needs to be properly deployed. This needs to be done every 50 meters and at every bend in the road, plus there needs to be the budget to replace them every 1-2 weeks because drivers will destroy them. And of course, the city and council needs to be willing to tell drivers who complain about hitting them "You hit a stationary well marked object in the road and are trying to blame others for your bad driving, you should instead consider stopping driving if you are unable to avoid well marked stationary objects."
