Road design, safety and Vision Zero

[jeffster]

Just my recollection of driving. It seems to be only the past 10 years or less than cars routinely do 20 over, and ignore stop signs if the way looks clear, same with turning right on red, many don't even bother to slow down. You just didn't see that behaviour before.

On the 401? 20-25 over was quite common way back in the 80s, at least.

I started driving in 1990 -- and it was probably | 120 | 110 | 100 | depending on that lane, on the 401. But I am mostly referring to the streets in the city.

Super annoying is when I am doing the limit and a little over, and travelling in the left hand lane, because I am going to make a left hand turn, you have some nut job behind you flashing their lights, honking and giving you the finger, as then speed by you at 2x the limit. Even more annoying on side streets. I have had people pass me when I am doing 45 in a 40. Glasgow is a perfect example. Long street, no stop signs, and a lot of impatient drivers. There used to be good police enforcement on Glasgow back in the day, as it was a great speed trap. Not sure why they stopped.
