If it is dangerous then someone should report it to the city.

I don't live in Calgary, but I try to follow the signs when I am driving in town so I would be inclined to slow down to the speed limit if the sign is posted. especially knowing how often Calgary likes to put up speed traps. I have seen more driving in Calgary while visiting then I see living in Grande Prairie and driving every day.

On that note, does the City use the 'SeeClickFix' app? If is used in a lot of cities where you can report any issues and the city will respond and fix the problem.
