2. the average speed before was 32 in a 30 zone, after it was 25. Am I the only one who thinks this isnt a good thing? 25 is way too slow, thats like getting a bunch of people to drive only 80 on deerfoot to try and win this lotto thing. its going to cause major traffic delays instead of keeping the flow of traffic moving at the speed it should be going.

1. I assume it would be very easy to get a city/police force to agree to this as a test. Especially if the company, VW in this case, tossed in a bunch of extra money to administer it.
2. If you noticed in the video (at 0:46 - 0:48), that zone was a school zone, hence the 30km/h speed limit. If you think 25km/h in a school zone is
way too slow, I hope you never drive near my house.
