Because everyone drives 40mph on that main road that is marked 25mph, and there is no string of accidents or fatalities after decades of this.

- kjkjadksj 2y agoOnce you are doing 40 or 50 any accident you do have with a pedestrian is almost sure to be fatal. Lower speeds offer more of a chance.
- Workaccount2 2y agoNot driving cars at all offers the lowest. There has to be a degree of nuance when evaluating this. Ironically in my town, we did have a "string" (3 people in 5 years) of pedestrian fatalities. All of which took place downtown where people actually do drive 25.
- kjkjadksj 2y agoWell its not a sure rule of thumb that lower speeds are safer. People die falling bad from standing too. But it sure as hell makes it a guarantee you kill someone if you hit them at that speed. Especially some of these newer suvs where the front end is effectively a wall at pedestrian height.
- PlutoIsAPlanet 2y agoAll it takes is for a driverless car speeding to hit a pedestrian for the industry to be dead in its tracks.
- worik 2y ago> there is no string of accidents or fatalities after decades of this. Ignoring reality A lot of people killed on the road
