Clearly you don't drive around Stoney Tr and Crowchild. It is 60k in every direction for miles and there isn't a construction worker in sight. Ever. At least not in any spots that are reachable for my car.
I live in Tuscany and have to do 60 pretty much all the time for absolutely no reason. The construction that goes on is so far away from the road I'm pretty sure I'd have to be going like 120 and lose control and have no brakes for my car to actually make contact with a construction worker. And that is if I could make it around the trailers, trucks, equipment and through the dirt and over the hills.
Actually I just happen to feel the same about playground zones. There is one in Tuscany that never has any kids at it. Luckily pretty much no one ever slows down. Then there is a field by my house that is constantly busy with small children and I always slow down but for some reason there is no playground zone sign.
Other than my fear of getting a ticket I probably wouldn't slow down in many construction zones and playground zones. I see them as a reminder that there is a park near and that there may be people working so I should pay attention and slow down if I see anyone. Other than that I don't understand the laws at all.
