Apparently pedestrians should take personal responsibility but not drivers

having to drive slower than reasonable

Honestly, this only exemplifies why speed limits by themselves don’t work. We have to design the streets so that the lower speed feels reasonable.

I know I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but it’s always worth saying.

    I can't think of any roads around me that have pedestrians and a speed limit of 50+. All the places pedestrians are 40 at most and have guardrails between the sidewalk and road. Usually 25 is the norm when pedestrians will be present.
