Kanaalisaarilla on käytössä filter-in-turn -metodi risteyksissä, jotka ennen olivat valo-ohjattuja. Nyt risteys vetää paremmin kuin ennen. Saattaa olla, että valoristeykset ovat
katoavaa kansanperinnettä muuallakin.
Tehottomiksi, kalliiksi ja turhiksi ne ovat jo osoittautuneetkin. Suurimman osan ajasta risteys on tyhjä, koska valo-ohjattuun järjestelmään on sisäänrakennettuna viive.
Sekaan-vaan-metodi on luontainen tapa
kehitysmaissa, mutta nyt tätä oppia sovelletaan myös kehittyneissä maissa, joissa ihmiselle ominainen varovaisuus on saatu kitkettyä pois perusinsinöörivetoisella liikennesuunnittelulla ja vuosikymmenet jatkuneilla aivot-narikkaan-opeilla.
Jersey, jotain muutakin kuin vain veroparasiitteja
"They will clarify what is effectively happening already on most of these junctions where Jersey motorists are courteous and do filter in turn naturally."

Filter in turn system
Some junctions have filter in turn on a sign and painted on the road. Approach these with care! At these junctions all directions have equal priority.
Poyntonin
shared space -risteys on hyvin vilkas, mutta vetää erinomaisesti.

Recently completed highway / public realm improvement scheme in Poynton, Cheshire designed to enhance pedestrian interconnectivity within the town centre and deliver environmental enhancements whilst simultaneously maintaining capacity to accommodate significant traffic flows.
Ansaitsemmeko parempaa?
No car hit any other, no pedestrians were injured, no roadway was blocked and everyone was able to get through the intersection in a reasonable amount of time. No one even had to honk. People made eye contact, communicated peacefully and politely, and without a single police officer to direct traffic, they directed themselves safely and efficiently.
This is what free people can do if given a chance.
Eliitti ensin! Pitäisikö etuajo-oikeus sitoa tulotasoon?
A raft of studies into unethical behaviour across the social classes has delivered a withering verdict on the upper echelons of society.
Privileged people behaved consistently worse than others in a range of situations, with a greater tendency to lie, cheat, take things meant for others, cut up other road users, not stop for pedestrians on crossings, and endorse unethical behaviour, researchers found.

It turned out that people behind the wheels of the priciest cars were four times as likely as drivers of the least expensive cars to enter the intersection when they didn't have the right of way. The discrepancy was even greater when it came to a pedestrian trying to exercise a right of way.
