Well 10 km/hr is sensible and not something I'm willing to go to war against. Dropping the speed limit by almost half is simply too rash and makes me question what's going on in the minds of some of these councilors. Why is it so important to them to try and force such drastic change? Did one or two of them have an incident related to their family or friend on a residential road that's spearheaded this? I'm just curious of the logic they are using to go to such drastic measures when there's no evidence to show there's a growing issue with traffic related deaths on residential streets. Why is this such an issue today?
