    Speed limits dropping in the GTA

    I always find it frustrating that few if any problems are actually addressed head on vs slapping on a politically correct patch. Save the pedestrians, make our roads safer n the chant goes on and on. Never mind we continue to see police resources stretched so thin there is precious little on road enforcement in spite of the nonsense we all see day after day after day on our roads. Never mind we see Zombie pedestrians constantly step out into traffic without looking and cross streets pretty much anywhere they please. Yes same ones that walk right out into traffic because they know "pedestrians always have the right away". Hope having the right away is comforting as their eyes close for the last time. When was the last time you or anyone you know was stopped at a seasonal ride spot check yet based on what we see in the news, drunk driving is alive and well.
    On the flip side, investigative report after investigative report on how so so many have drivers lic's in spite of never having taken and or passed a legit drivers road test. We see em everyday, can't keep their car in lane on a straight piece of road let alone a curve, can't get close enough to a gas pump to actually get fuel in, have no idea what happens at a 4 way stop, no idea what to do if the traffic lights are out and the list goes on and on and on.
    But reducing speed limits are going to make it all ok.

    I can see the issue there - needs to be more out of sight light red light camera's - we had a permanent out of sight one, on HWY 10 in Caledon - it's presence slowed everyone down...

    ^ Exactly the ones our powers to be are looking to save. While it bites we see so much as a single pedestrian injury or death, can't protect those that choose to live directly in the path of harms way.
