They should switch to kph from mph so the effective speed limit is lowered to ~15mph while being labeled as 25kph. Drivers will feel like their going '25' so less likely to feel inconvenienced :)

I rarely look at my speedometer. I set my speed almost entirely by feel, road conditions, and other cars.

Which is kind of the point of the human-scale roads movement. If you design roads that feel fast, people will drive fast.

Would only work for the current generation of drivers.

Maybe we could add a few zeroes each few years? So in some decades they'll be driving ultra fast at 25000 meters per hour? ;)

About half would just do 25 mph.
