If

If I’m right: that the edifice of traffic control, based as it is on anti-social priority, is flawed and misguided; and that self-control on streets designed for equality are safer and more efficient than streets governed by priority and signals, what is the nature of the delusion that holds sway, and why does a vast state-sponsored industry uphold it? It’s akin to the power of religion in the Middle Ages. It’s no coincidence that the traffic rulebook is known in the profession as “the bible”.
