I mean, isn’t that the idea? That people will be bad unless you give them citations?

My neighbors could steal my packages. They do not. Not all people will be bad if not micromanaged, some people are just nice.

Problem is ma t of those limits were set for cars with horrible bias-ply tires and drum brakes. In modern cars that can easily traverse those roads at 20 or 30mph over they feel assinine.

(particularly section 2 "Limitations of the 85th Percentile Rule for Setting Speed Limits")

I'll admit that "the majority" could be an overstatement, perhaps I should have said "enough people to be dangerous"
