To a point. The problem is that the kind of people who are always screeching about traffic speeds are never satisfied and below a certain threshold the only way to go get slower is 4-way stops. And once those go in you get to listen to every motorcycle and delivery truck accelerate after the stop.

Downtown is very low speed but very noisy.

Say what you will about the suburbs but the grass and landscaping on each and every property is like noise cancelling foam being applied compared to the hardscaping downtown.

This is why I moved to suburbs tbh

Compared to the city it's so quiet and peaceful. My sleep is much better
