I get this is a joke, but speed limits shouldn’t be set by politicians (which I’m hearing apparently is/was a thing?). Politicians have a role to play in getting regulations standards re-written by people who understand the decades of research on this.

Speeding is mostly a design issue, but I still expect people actually follow the rules.

Strong Towns, NotJustBikes, City Beautiful, Practical Engineering, among others have made great videos on this topic.

A lot of people justify speeding, and it’s kinda dumb, if you ask me.

Just because you “feel” it’s safe, doesn’t mean it actually is.

Plus, there’s a fantastic way to reduce road deaths, just have fewer cars, switch to public transport, but that takes a long time to implement if the political will doesn’t exist.
