Holy shit!
Definitely of many minds myself. Overall the goal is very good, and it is so frustrating seeing people going way too fast. Particularly in neighborhoods, which like a challenging place to add ISA everywhere.
On the other hand here in DC there's a number of corridors where driving the speed limit would be basically unsafe, way lower than the flow of traffic. And in general I just don't like seeing ever expanding computerized control over the world.
