Speeding is definitely a problem on some roads. Saddletown Circle, near my house is really bad. People whip around it going 80+ km/h and its a 50 zone. There is one house where the owner had to repair his fence at least 3 times due to cars smacking into it. Its only a matter of time before a pedestrian gets killed walking on the sidewalk.
Last summer my wife and I were driving around when two vehicles whipped past us (and almost hit us) on the circle. When we turned the corner we saw one of the vehicles smashed into a light poll.
Then there are some strange areas in the city where no one even goes the speed limit. For example, on 52nd St, north of McKnight the speed limit is 60. Yet everyone goes 50.
