Okay... So what about the brick roads make you "feel faster"? I have never driven on one, and the only comparison I could think of is the difference of driving on freshly paved roads (very smooth) and roads that are a few years old. Maybe that's the "rumble" that makes you feel like driving fast? I can kind of get that. Are those the same feeling?
Yeah, it's mostly the noise (and a little bit of the vibration) that makes you feel faster. Doesn't really happen when you drive the speed limit, which most of the time is 30 km/h for residential areas where it is common to have brick paving. Drive any faster, and you'll feel uncomfortable in many ways, which causes all but a select few daredevils to just slow down and keep everyone safer. :) Add some traffic calming in the mix, such as speed bumps, zig-zags, trees, raised crossings, etc., and you have a street where parents feel comfortable having their kids play football outside.
I see. Thanks for the info! :)
