Take a look at this map: https://www.calgary.ca/content/dam/w...etwork-map.pdf

Collector Roads (the thin gray lines) and roads not seen at all will drop to 40 KM/H and eventually 30 KM/H under this change. That is ridiculous.
Nope, I get it. I am curious though, who spends most of their commute on a collector or residential road?

I actually would be curious to see what some people's commutes or drives are that they're concerned about. Because for me, the beginning of my commute before I get on to 16th Ave NW will change and then it's normal from there on. Half of my distance leading up to 16th Ave is already a playground zone so I'd be going 30 anyways. Not a big deal.
Same for getting to my old office, a little bit slower at the beginning/end and then no change. Maybe I'm unique (but I don't think so), but when I'm driving, most of the time it's not on a residential or collector road. You use those to get to the main roadways and then it's smooth sailing.
