What limited enforcement there is regarding traffic laws has nothing to do with the spirit of the law as indicated in its name (the traffic safety act), It is simply in the spirit of doing something to be able say you have done something, heeped in a self perpetuating system where we use the revenue from enforcement to fund to enforcement, so we need continued revenue to continue funding.[/rant]

Speed limits are pretty close to where they should be once you account for the 10 cushion in enforcement. If you look at BC highway limits which are now set by design speeds for the roads you can seem that in general ours are reasonable.
I’d prefer to see variable limits on the 2 and the 1 so that during busy conditions speed limits would be lowered to reduce the accordion affect and improve through put.
