The limit is 50 or 60? They do 40.
Playground Zone? You better believe they're doing 40.

Crawling through normal roads and burning through Playground Zones.

That’s because it’s the sensible speed for residential areas. It keeps collisions below the 30 km death zone, and it recognizes that school zones are not higher incidents of accidents. It also is a natural speed on roads with cars parked on either sides and when viewed from the cyclist pedestrian domain is much more comfortable (noise and speed delta) than 40.
30/40/50 makes no sense. I refuse to participate in the ridiculousness of that system. 40km residential.
