I'm not a big fan of speed limits and speed traps, but some people just have an mis-calibrated sense of what's safe. Heck, even if you're well intentioned, calibrating to "safe" yourself is very hard because hitting and killing a pedestrian even once in a lifetime is way too much.
- xracy 4y agoThe parent comment is acknowledging this. They're also admitting this is true for everyone... not just the people you think are bad drivers (everyone is a bad driver). Speed traps don't actually enforce/fix this. They just make people unhappy. If you want a street to feel "safe" for pedestrians, you have to make it feel "unsafe" for drivers, and make them think consciously about how they're driving.
