Ward 7 strikes again. Druh Farrell's pet projects have been some of the worst things to ever happen to this city.
I'm sure there will be a bunch of new 55-60 in 40 that get handed out until it normalizes.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Now.... giving the number of idiots that barrel down towards an active crosswalk and stop at last minute this morning in the rain/dark, these idiots are giving these restrictive laws more ammo.

Farrell has always been anti-car. If she had her way we would all be riding bycicles to and from work.

The vote passed 8-6 without Woolley (the main champion of this) even voting. So really it was 9-6. This had the urban ideologues (Farrell, Carra, Woolley) as well as surburban councilors (Davison, Keating, Jones, Chahal) vote for it. This isn't just a Druh pet project people didn't bother to push back on. This has been a thing from community associations and other vested interest groups for a while all over the city and the council support shows how widespread it is. It was effectively finding an excuse to do something they can pass off as a public safety issue.
Drove through a longer playground zone today, I imagined that everywhere... it was awful
If a study happens at all, it would be great to know attention vs. speed. My opinion is that the lower the speed limit is across bigger areas, people will pay attention less with an internal dialogue of "I'm not going fast enough for anything bad to happen" and distracted driving goes way up.

Just because some councilors are behind it doesn't mean it's a good idea. The fluoride fiasco is proof the a group of councilors can make some really bad decisions on behalf of Calgarians.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I’m not saying it’s a good idea, I’m saying you’re ignoring what the driving force behind it is. Getting rid of Druh and this still would have passed.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Yep. Just go look on every community facebook page. Tons of stay-at-home moms complaining about speeders, or talking about cars almost crashing into them while they're crossing the road. These people complain to their Councillors and police daily.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I was thinking about this as I was running around earlier this morning - I noted as I was cutting through cliff bungalow sidestreets i.e. 22nd ave, that I was only doing about 40kmh due to congestion, and wouldn't really go much faster than that in any other circumstance. So yeah, there are a few instances where a reasonably lower limit probably won't hurt anything. But my confidence is just so low that the leadership at this city will actually take a pragmatic rational look at this - there's no way I should be limited to less than 50 while going down 5th SW, for example, if the road is clear.
Come on, Toronto office transfer?

I'm curious, how do the beyond members in Airdrie survive with their city's lower residential speed limits? The city of Chestermere also has 40kph pretty much everywhere. Okotoks is at 40 as well.

Will fuck off, again.
Seeing somebody drive 40 on a road like 22nd Ave is definitely what would get the Mission-Cliff Bungalow busybodies to call for a 30km/h limit.
