The point is I don't understand why it's even necessary to lower the speed limit when it hasn't been an actual issue. How often are accidents occurring in residential zones that are 50?
For some roads and inner city communities, 40km or even 30km does make sense since the road can be fairly narrow, and it's safer to drive slower. But for roads that are plenty enough wide enough for parking lanes, and two lane traffic to comfortably go down at 50, there is no need to reduce the limit. There isn't an epidemic of people getting run over, or cars crashing into each other here.
