It looks like instead of pinging carelessness, we will soon be keeping people to the speed limit.

With the reducing of speed limits being pulled, at least this will give another way to reduce the impact of crashes.

Unlike the comment on reddit saying this won’t reduce crashes, I’m going to point out that it’s not designed to. Road to zero is about recognising crashes will happen, this move is about reducing the damage when crashes inevitably occur.

    A collision at a lower speed is less severe: simple as that.

    A less severe collision lowers the chance of a fatality and lowers the severity of other injuries.

    Arguing that an imperfect (or partially effective) measure shouldn’t be implemented is disingenuous.
