I can understand the argument that since almost everyone drives faster than the posted limit on wide one-way streets a low posted limit will tend to slow people down to what they might do if the limit was higher. But 50 is so low that, speaking as someone who tries to follow it in order to catch a green wave, I can say that it requires exceptional determination and self-discipline to maintain it. Perhaps the limit should be raised to 60km/hr with good signage to indicate that a pure "green wave" is in effect and that as a result speeding is futile.
So is the right speed to drive here 50 km/h or 60 km/h? I live in the area and I haven't noticed any special timing of the lights, so I would like to know what speed I should be driving at.
