Welp, Waterloo reverses course on road safety...
https://www.therecord.com/news/waterloo-...limit.html
Folks, remember this, and throw it in the face of everyone in Waterloo region who EVER complains about road safety. Next time a bike lane is proposed and you see a parade of crocodile tears crying about how oppressed drivers in the city are, get ready to call them on their bullshit.
Honestly...I'm so sick and tired of the pandering to angry drivers.
Not only does this harm the neighbourhoods it's implemented in, it harms the effectiveness of the whole policy. Speed limits are shown to be most effective when applied broadly. Nobody is going to remember, "Gee, I'm on a minor collector outside ward 7 so I can do 50, oops, crossed into ward 7 and turned onto a local street, now I go 30". So the whole policy becomes less effective.
But I'm not surprised...there's a reason I left and it's because I didn't see meaningful progress being made in the timeframe that I was raising a child during...Maybe in 30 years, my daughter can think about immigrating back to Canada.
