> The overwhelming majority of drivers know to ignore the speed limit if the situation is rife with pedestrians or otherwise sus and are generally fine with missing/obstructed stop signs. This sentence makes me want to cry. Sure, I may know drivers treat speed limits as minimum acceptable speed at best, but seeing it unironically spelled out like this hurts. Please, it's just two simple words: 1) speed 2) limit. L I M I T. It's the maximum allowable speed. No, it's not the minimum speed, no it's not the target speed, no, it's not "more of a guideline than anything". You are not allowed to go faster. It says nothing about a minimum speed. It says nothing about what speed you should drive at. All it does is limit the maximum speed. Repeat after me, it's a speed L I M I T. Just kidding though, I know even speaking like I would to a 5 year old won't do it, this mentality runs far too deep. There's no hope.
