There will always be people who do it right, and people who do it wrong.
The lines simply demonstrates this principle and clearly show, who is doing it wrong and who is doing it right. People will always try to pass you on the left or on the right whether there is space or not.

- Removal of lines would simply encourage people to go wherever they want, which is nothing else than anarchy. However, traffic should run in an orderly manner, which is quite the opposite. You will end up having cars queueing side by side all down the queueing lane, but now they think "hey, no lines, no problem", which is wrong. The road is still just one (continuous) lane, just like it was before.

You make good points. Removing the lines could make it seem more "open", thus resulting in people go wherever they like and go high speeds.
This could be fixed if the lanes would be abit smaller, so it does not fit 2 cars side by side in 1 lane.


On the bottom part you can see double guard rails with some space between them.
On the upper part I kept the "default" guardrail, but I placed some speedbumps next to it, to make the lane appear smaller. This can also be done with chalk to make the lane appear smaller.

The bottom solution with double guardrails is more forcefully, the upper solution is more suggesting to players. I would suggest the bottom solution.



But if you do want to keep the double lanes, here is some other thing that might help:

These concrete blocks will also force people to not go straight side by side, simply because it doesn't fit.



In general, if you want to slow down the speed on the main road, maybe consider making some sort of chicane or speedbump. (tho chicane would have my preference, since a speedbump can be used as ramp)

What about people in chases were they pass there will be more ww and more crashes and this seems like this will be just one big traffic jam 1 bus will stop all the traffic. People having hard time moveing when theres 2 lanes if you make 1 lane theres no space to pass someone unless you go ww but then you at risk of hiting people coming infron people dont care that much about road laws to make this safe. I mean you can also test it maby it will work and people will go slower maby iam wrong.
