> It's a similar situation in Philly, every day I watch bikers run red lights and stop signs or speeding in a 25.
I've yet to see a vehicle not speeding in a 25. It's honestly infuriating when people are actually going 24 in a 25, because despite these limits being in a mostly urban area, there are almost zero pedestrians there and it's a 3 lane wide road in good condition.
How much can a bike possibly be speeding in a 25 to be a danger? 28mph? Come on.

Running a red light is a big no-no however.
