The highway adjacent to my property is posted at 90km/h. Why won’t the ministry consider posting a 60km/h zone to slow traffic down in front of my property?
It is a popular misconception that reducing the posted speed will automatically reduce the speed of traffic. Similarly, raising the posted speed limit will not necessarily increase the speed of traffic. Studies have shown that drivers will tend to disregard posted speed limits that they deem unreasonable. An unrealistically low speed limit will simply result in speed differentials between the few motorist who actually will obey the limit, and the majority who disregard it. If the unrealistic speed limit were to be enforced it may create antagonism toward the police and traffic laws in general.
