When I can, I go closer to the edge which is lower.
Am I doing it right? Any better ideas?

Political forces implemented them and political forces can take them away.
But this is like trying to get laws repealed. It's similar to writing something in stone (or graffiti?). Once it is done, it's much harder to get it undone.
Remember,
it was probably your neighbors who thought it would be a good idea, petitioned for it and had it enacted - to reduce or eliminate the flow of traffic on "their" street.
Go petition your local legislators against the collective will of your neighbors. Good luck!
