However, people tend to be opposed to 'artificial speed limit

continue to allow roads to get congested by 'standing waves', because
the complaints about congestion are less than the frothing caused when
speed limits are reduced.

Here in .uk we have stretches of motorway that have a different scheme:
chevrons every (mumble) yards. And a sign saying 'keep at least two
chevrons between you and vehicle ahead'.

Probably should be used a bit more often, as it seems to work. Mostly.

Kind of.

I think.
