Do I need to explain probability?
I'll be honest I am seriously entertained by the number of people complaining they might have to slow down a few times on their drive for a couple extra hours a day. But it also doesn't surprise me. The courtesy seen among drivers in Calgary has plummeted in the last 20 years. It's really quite frightening. And while I don't have a dog in this fight given I don't live in Calgary (or anywhere near but I have lived or driven in the city every one of those 20+ years) it seems like it is much ado about nothing. This will not affect your life one bit.
But you know what will? A kid jumping a fence right in front of your car and you not being able to stop in time because you were going 60 instead of 30.
