I just got back from San Diego, and after riding the trolley there (their word, not mine!) I'm sad again about all the speed limit signs we're seeing on our line.
The trolley was regularly going 40km/hr on city streets, 65km/hr along the Green Line's separated right of way, and even hit a speed of 88km/hr on the stretch between Barrio Logan and Harborside stations (which had level crossings!).
The speed limits on our line, with the same levels of grade crossings, are excessively conservative in comparison.
