right, but again what problem are we solving here. There are no stats showing a high number of deaths occuring in residential areas, or a large number of kids being hit while playing on the street. We have an average number of 9 deaths per year (2005-2014) from the article GGG posted. However that does not show how many of those occured in the residential areas that would be affected by this new law. In fact two of the specific examples used would not be included as they were on main roads (Centre Street at 18th Avenue N, and 14th Street NW and MacEwan Drive).
