America must learn the difference between roads and streets, when every street is built like a highway (same width and large signs) then of course people will drive fast.
If your neighborhood had an actual street on the other hand it would be narrow, which means much lower tax for you as it cost less to maintain, less potholes, sidewalks so that you won't have to drive everywhere.
You and your neighbors would still park there and there would be flower planters and other obstacles, kids would be playing in the street, and with all that you don't even need a sign posting some bullshit "speed limit", people would be driving reasonably fast all by themselves and then use the roads to fast travel.

Maybe stop allowing houses to be built on arterials?
