Is Anarchy on the Streets a Good Thing?
Could getting rid of traffic laws make people better drivers and ultimately safer? Not too long ago I would have written off the idea as absurd. But when I read this post over at Cato that talks about how 7 European cities are doing away with traffic signs, I thought they just might be onto something.
The change of heart comes after spending some time in Vietnam. Half the fun of being in HCMC came from standing on a street corner and marveling at how well the traffic flows despite the complete lack of rules.
Read the article above and then take a look at this video from 13 Months for a firsthand look into this “controlled chaos” in Hanoi.
