- marssaxman 8y agoToo high according to what? According to community consensus, as expressed in everyday common practice, legal speed limits are usually set too low.
- cozzyd 8y agoYeah, people also don't eat healthily, don't comment their code and have terrible taste in music. Speed limits are often set at unsafe speeds that are dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists, or people trying to turn onto a road.
- amanaplanacanal 8y agoThere seems to be a huge disconnect between posted speed, design speed, and speeds that are safe in areas with pedestrians, scooters, and bicyclists. Engineers have been designing for highway speeds everywhere. It's going to take a long time to get everything adjusted so that the three things match up.
