I can't say I'd be excited about 19 mph speed limits enforced by cameras, but I don't doubt it would work.
I'd love for my city to just focus on making other forms of transportation more appealing. More bus lanes, more (properly designed) bike lanes, etc.
- maest 7mo agoWhy do you need to go faster in a city center?
- RandallBrown 7mo agoYou probably don't need to go faster in the city center, but you need to get to the city center somehow.
- jacquesm 7mo agoYou don't need more speed, you need better planning.
- RandallBrown 7mo agoAgreed. That's what I put in my original post.
- maest 7mo agoThe limit is active in city centre and residential areas only.
- tfyoung 7mo agoYou know what makes bike lanes more appealing and safer (amongst other things)? Not being next to speeding cars.
- seizethecheese 7mo agoI’ll point out the obvious that this is entirely based on perspective. An individual whose dominant mode of transportation is not driving would probably disagree.
- andrewaylett 7mo agoEdinburgh doesn't enforce its 20mph zones, I follow them anyway. And I don't believe I actually make progress through the city any less quickly than drivers who speed, because it's rare that I'm not in any case sitting behind the speeders at the next red light. Arterial roads are normally still 30mph, and it's not a huge city so it doesn't take that long to get from the outskirts to the centre. Or when it does, it's not because of low speed limits.
