Charles St. has a 40 km/h speed limit between Ottawa and where it merges with King, which doesn't really make a lot of sense to me. Half that block is empty right now, and you don't see too many students jay-walking in that area.
The stretch of Charles near HoF and Cameron Heights is much sketchier. I often see people staggering out onto the street or across the tracks without even looking for traffic or trains. I saw a near miss last week when a kid walked directly in front of the train without even lifting his head.
Charles drops down to 40 again at Stirling so in front of Cameron Heights it's 40. The amount of people jaywalking is really insane, it happens in front of KCI as well and it was only really a matter of time before a tragic situation like this occured. In Europe they have similar systems yet don't have the same problems so it seems like one of the strange North American problems.
