General Road and Highway Discussion

[danbrotherston]

Are you saying you don't believe increasing the speed limit on the 401 will increase the speeds?

The reality is we will not get photo enforcement, nor sufficient police enforcement to actually enforce speed limits. Any discussion of actual policy must accept that this is not part of the plan.

With same enforcement level, it likely would increase speeds. But we were proposing a speed limit increase with effective enforcement. Since this is completely hypothetical, I think it's a valid proposal.

I agree in principle, but this is not hypothetical, this is being investigated, and may actually be implemented.  And I'm about 100% certain that enforcement will not increase in practice.
