Who the heck is going 50km/hr in all those cul de sacs and dead end residential roads, which is the bulk of what is changing. People will still speed on the collector roads.
As for Tuscany discussion why don't they make that Tusslewood entrance super annoying like the other access off 12 mile coulee and put a playground zone every 200ft?

The motion also spoke to prioritizing traffic calming measures on collectors because with the width, speed limit alone would not be effective. The inner city has quite a few straight shot roads (including my own) where speeding is actually a problem, or even people abiding by the current speed limit it is not particularly safe. So, while yes, it often won't affect suburban crescents and cul de sacs, there will be impact in large swaths of the city. Making the default speed limit lower is the most cost effective way of affecting some improvement.
