Maybe a difference of five or even 10 miles per hour might not sound like a lot to someone, but when you look at the data, it makes a significant difference in the likelihood of injuries and fatalities…
MBJ, we’re being killed. Lower the speed limit in Chicago.
Valid points, I see what you’re saying. Speaking to “by default 40+”, I guess I’d rather see better enforcement for the laws in place before making the laws stricter for everyone. I am a big fan of what Paris is doing though. Making “peaceful zones” where they’re closed to through traffic. That doesn’t really solve the problem for traversing the entire city though. Gosh I wish we can just fully overhaul the city’s infrastructure to have such good public transportation that I don’t have to worry about needing to drive my car to get anywhere in an adequate amount of time.
