    I wish my neighborhood would do this. 25mph feels really fast on my street. I usually hover around 15-20 when I'm not paying attention to my speed.

    Edit: I am surprised that this was my third most controversial comment since I've joined

      It's been surprising to see just how many pro-car users seem to lurk on these anti-car/pro-alternative transport communities.

        They're probably imagining me as that Prius or something slowing them down in traffic. My neighborhood is basically one lane when people are parked, and there are a lot of kids, so if they drove the road they'd understand.

        for all it's worth carbrained people all hate each other, too, but boy are they good at rallying around a common enemy

        I live in a super rural area and would have an almost impossible time working, buying groceries or getting medical care without a car and even I think the vast majority of the arguments against this are dumb as fuck and the epitome of car brained.

      Also lowering it from 30 to 20 realistically means people will now drive 30 instead of 40.
