Description
INTRODUCTION Numerous laws prohibit and punish behavior the government seeks to prevent, such as running red lights or driving faster than the posted speed limit. However, recent legal and economic scholarship has recognized that the government has an important alternative mechanism it can use to reduce prohibited behavior: "structural" systems. (1) Structural systems either facilitate enforcement, as red light cameras do, (2) or actually help constrain behavior. For example, if the government seeks to reduce speeding in a residential neighborhood, instead of (or in addition to) imposing fines and ticketing speeders, it can construct roads in ways that help reduce speeding, (3) such as making them narrow or winding, or including speed bumps. The structure of the road can thus actually help prevent the behavior the government seeks to reduce.
