    Where I’m at, they’re trying to do that plan where they lower speed limits and change the roads to reflect the slower speeds with narrowing, or bikes lanes, or speed bumps etc to reduce car accident deaths, but they ignored the entire part about changing the roads to reflect the new speeds, and just lowered the speeds.

    So you got these 4-6 lane roads that were designed for 50km/h and now they’re 30-40km/h and absolutely no one, is doing the posted limit, at the new 30 areas, not even cops.

    All I can come up with is now if you speed like people may have before, you’re really over the limit, so it’s easier to ticket someone? Like before people might have gone 55-60 in the 50 zone, but now going 55 is well over 40, and impound level over 30.
