Lowering limits should be your last resort, since it can make things trickier since most vehicles will just keep going the old speed.

Yes, fair point. My hope is lowering the speed limit would just be a short term solution and long term some sort of “road engineering” fix would be the long term. Unfortunately, with how the road is right now there is no easy fix with lanes etc.
