Reply to comment by [deleted] in Flashing Yellow School Zone Speed Signs Should be Mandatory Alongside Zone Cameras by BiffBiffkenson

Actually if there are urban surface roads with a 30 MPH or 35 MPH speed limit - are you saying you do 25, and you expect that others do to? Well that sort of defeats the use of signage all together then. Do you want to name a specific city with urban surface roads, I'm sure commenters could point out 30-40 MPS limits being posted in some of them.

Obviously if there’s a divided highway, that’s a different story.

But most New Englanders seem to take offense at the idea that they should drive safely and follow the rules. That’s why those cameras are there — the pedestrian fatality rate in the northeast is appalling.

Some idiot blasting down Branch Ave or Gano Street at 40 MPH isn’t the same as a drive down a divided highway. (Though they seem to think it is).
