Grand River Transit

If this is OK:

… then there is no reason for an LRT limit below maybe 65km/h immediately adjacent to a sidewalk. An LRT lane has vehicles driven by trained operators at the specified speed that do not deviate from their planned path and come once every few minutes; a regular traffic lane has vehicles driven by whatever random idiots passed a driving test at whatever speed they feel like that occasionally mount the curb and come several per minute.

The one mitigating factor for cars is that they can stop much more quickly than an LRT.

Still, I agree that the LRT should be able to drive at least at 50 km/h, the same (theoretical) speed as the vehicle traffic.
