This is where the city loses me...If you want people to drive 30, make the speed limit 30, and if that doesn't work, shift to traffic calming. Don't keep the speed limit 50 but engineer the road for 30.
It's like this farce on 10th st. where the dog park hullabaloo happened a few years ago. Someone must have said people were driving to fast after they took the dog fence down on one side, then made the area across the street with no fence the off leash area, which zero people ever use becuase it is a steep hill. Anyway....dog dumbness aside, do they drop the speed limit? No they put speed bumps in on a 50km/h road that require you to slow to 30. So what does the city want out of people? Them to drive 50, or 30? Pick one.
