Is it the residential streets where they can make some money writing tickets though, or all those streets which are currently 50, and significant arteries that are suddenly 10km/hr less? They're not going to sit on my street and target people, partly because people are already driving ~30km/hr (due to the nature and design of the road), but they could have a field day "around the corner" on the more major streets that have been 50km/hr for decades.
I think this is going to result in a lot of fine revenue for the police force. I'm not cynical enough to think that this is why they're doing it, but it's a nice bonus for "keeping the streets safe".
