We have had an interesting experiment in some small towns in germany, I think they tried the same in Denmark or Holland, I am not sure.

They banned all traffic signs, all traffic lights, and lifted all regulations on who can use which poart of the street. Most traffic rules and laws also were lifted. No more "right before left", and so on.

The results were surprising.

The situation meant that everybody took more care, and establioshed eye contact with the others. Everybody was forced to be aware, to be defensive, and passive. Less traffic jams, steeply falling accident rates. A more relaxed traffic climate, people stayed more relaxed. And people: pedestrioans, cars, bicycles, motorbikes, they all formed a self-organising structure by which traffic regulated itself.

It was for the benefit of the single individual and the benefit of all. Possible tough that cars were no longer able to see the road as their private highspeed racetrack pattern. I think that loss is acceptable.
