    Here’s the spot.

    It looks like there are two roads and the village is kind of at their cross, so it’s probably people trying to get from Point A to Point B rather than to the village. Doesn’t look like there’s presently an easy way to drive around the outside of the village.

    The roads in the village don’t look to me to be well-suited to high-speed traffic at all. They are narrow, and the place is full of blind corners, with very little frontage space between the buildings and the street. I would bet that the village road network and building layout has been there since before cars were around.

    Maybe add a bypass road that goes around the village further away so that through traffic can still get through quickly and so that people in the village don’t have high-speed traffic going down their main street.
