It has been experimented with a bit in the UK, Homezones and the like. Slows people down, they have to think about their environment a bit more.
I notice it sometimes when a set of traffic lights at a busy junction fails, the junction often runs very smoothly, people are more considerate, think more about what is going on around them.
