For all the whining, the study GGG posted is a pretty good read.

And right here is the issue, people supporting things like this based on emotion and not fact. Between 2012 and 2017, less than one pedestrian was killed by a vehicle on a residential road per year. And even then, there is no evidence that shows any of those people would be alive if the limit had been lower.
This won’t stop people from speeding, but it will allow the CPS to jack up fine revenue. Unless people also believe the bull#### notion that people decide that they’ll drive a certain amount over the limit and not what they are comfortable for the road. But now we’ll have a road that you can safely do 60 in a 50 reduced to 30 or 40, no real impact on the number of pedestrian fatalities and a photo radar unit cranking out tickets
