New "Road diet" is a term around here in NoVA.
They neck the road down, or repurpose lanes, to force traffic to slow down, and makes it less dangerous for pedestrians and for cross-traffic.

New As I recall they're more efficient as well
The center turn lane and lack of lane hopping makes them both safer and less pathologically congested.
