The speed limit is the maximum under perfect conditions. It’s the responsibility of the driver to adjust their speed to the conditions that are there whether it’s a permenant traffic calming device or snow or parked cars.

Most residential streets are unsigned and my understanding is that changing the limits wouldn't mean putting up a bunch of new signs. The notice of motion, if you read it, even talks about the need to budget for short and medium term projects that would update residential street designs to reflect the new limit. And Gian-Carlo Carra has talked about the need for a "generational" redesign of residential streets. It's not like the city is going to pronounce new limits and leave it at that.
How is the city supposed to have developers build slower streets if the current legal limit tells the developer to design for 50km/h?
