@grue Yes, yes, yes. I agree with all of this. But I also think people should realize that speeding is bad and that lowering car speeds is good, so all these changes can be implemented. I’m tired of people getting angry because they got a fine for speeding because they were, you know, speeding and putting people in danger.
No, see, that doesn’t follow because not “all” changes are good. Only modifying the geometry of the street is good. Changing the number on the speed limit sign should only ever be done in conjunction with that geometry change, and even then it’s just an afterthought.
It’s really, really, really important not to give the people in control of the budget any excuse to think that they can cost-cut “fix the geometry” down to “install lower speed limit signs” and still have it count as accomplishing something!

True.
Also true.

@grue We agree on everything, I don’t know why you keep arguing.
