    30 mph is about hte speed limit in school zones where a kid is most likely to get hit by a car to begin with, though. Or where the assumption that cars make noise has lead to inane road layouts where parked vehicles or shubbery obscure oncoming traffic.

      Absolutely. I think the main issue has been with electric vehicles backing up?

      Either way, I’m vehemently anticar, so I just want to beat the “Trains, Bikes, Buses, and Better Urban Planning” drum. Trying my damnedest to replace all of my driving with biking has actually had a great impact on my life aside from the cost savings and health benefits. Biking is enjoyable for me while driving is stressful. Granted, I understand this isn’t viable for everyone within the current infrastructure of most US cities. The US just needs to do better…on every front. :)
