Unless they install speed bumps on the service roads, lowering the speed limit will not have a full effect of protecting people.
Cars zoom down the service roads on a regular basis as pedestrians cross mid block popping out between the cars.

make the speed limit ZERO and no one will get hit by cars.

Its very easy to give numbers which are really meaningless and are only used to serve the DOT purpose to raise revenue by lowering speed limits. If they were honest they would say how many people were crossing against the light. How many people were hit while jay walking. How many were hit while walking and being distracted by their smartphone. Of course if they were really interested in pedestrian safety they would encourage the use of reflective belts. Ticket pedestrians who play Russian roulette with cars who have a green light. Urge pedestrians to put away smartphones when crossing a street especially when you have your 4-5 kids behind you. But of course who cares as long as you can make big bucks off the motorists.

why stop at 25? i am sure that even less people get seriously hurt if the speed limit is 5 miles per hour. after that we can make it illegal to cross a street, think how many lives will be saved.etc…

If bill could lower it to 5 mph on ocean parkway he would. Just so he could give out more tickets. Everyone, I heard there’s a new speed camera on ave r and ocean parkway. Be careful!

The time has come to build some pedestrian overpasses for crossing Ocean parkway as they have over the North Circular Road in London after some fatal accidents.

They may be right about there being more ksi on ocean pkwy than other streets, but it’s not caused by drivers. Stand by any corner on ocean pkwy and you’ll see many pedestrians walking dangerously close to the roadway or crossing illegally. Even if the dot is right about the general idea that most casualties are caused by the drivers (which is what the whole vision zero campaign is about), in this case it’s all the pedestrians fault.

Saving lives is most important. Thank you DOT.
