A little off topic rant...

Instead of raising taxes, they really can just change all the speed limit signs to 30km/hr. Shouldn't that be an efficient way of raising revenues?

Some of these speed limits are so utterly ridiculously low that the disparity in a 'sane' speed and people doing the speed limit is more of a hazard than pure speed itself.

in reverse, residential area have no speed limit signs and the default is 50km/h. That's WAY too high. The speed limit is just set for the convinience for increasing revenue, NOT FOR SAFETY nor efficiency. Enuf said.
