They can either claim land of the residents to make the road wider, they could leave it dangerous for pedestrians/bicyclists, they could shut the road down completely, or just do what they have done in the video.

    If they are comcerned about speeding, they could install speed bumps or speed cameras. Those actually work.

    Probably, they are concerned about the people in the small lane. Bicyclists and pedestrians. Speed bumps doesn't stop those large american vehicles from taking out a person in their blind spot during a right turn.

    those large american vehicles

    Don't they have outside mirrors? I use those to check for bikes before making turns... 🙄 Like I was taught in driving school.

    Making the lanes narrow also works. That's why they did it. Also people vandalise speed cameras so that's not worth it, and speed bumps don't work because people just floor it between the bumps.
