I prefer real traffic calming that doesn't rely on compliance to work like boulevards and narrow streets as and this is speculation that inattentive people are more likely to ignore speed changes and also the group more likely to hit kids
100% agreed. Put whatever you want on the sign, people will drive what they're comfortable with. There's plenty of neighborhood roads that are 50 that many never exceed 30 on, and vice versa. Design the roads properly and you wouldn't need to implement half assed measures like this
