Road design, safety and Vision Zero

[plam]

You make some excellent points. In particular, you’re absolutely right that many public routes with no speed limit signs cannot support travel at the default speed limit. Nevertheless you say it yourself — “you cannot be ticketed for exceeding the speed limit” (referring to exceeding advisory limits on curves). I think that applies both to automatic speed enforcement and enforcement done by police. If you’re going to have automatic speed enforcement, there needs to be a sign forbidding the behaviour which triggers the enforcement mechanism.

I agree that Council should not have reversed their decision. They should at least try the lower limits for a while, rather than cancelling the program before it’s even implemented.

So if you drive at the speed limit in the curve and it's actually too fast and you crash your car, you can still get a ticket for unsafe driving. Would you? That's another question.
