If you slowed everyone’s traffic by 25%, how many human lives are wasted (though not ended) per year?
If you assume people drive 10K per year at an average speed of 33 mph, you’re driving ~300 hours per year. Slow that by 25% and it’s an extra 100 hours per year. If you assume 7.5 hours of sleep, you’d spend an extra 1.6% of your waking life in a car because of the slowdown. That’s killing a lot of time, even if not directly killing people.
