As long as it doesn't apply to the main arteries I like the idea, no one spends much time on residential roads and making them slower makes residential areas quieter and safer. It's not solving a big problem, but making this change probably means a few kids don't get brained over the coming years.

Changing the road design of an existing residential road causes massive disruption and costs millions of dollars. "Poor drivers" is a very obtuse problem that difficult to tackle in a meaningful way. Slapping up some new signs is relatively cheap and simple.
