What's a little extra 5 or 10 mph on the clock?

People will always drive at the speed that feels safe, it's not just Americans. Gradually here this is being recognized, and roads narrowed, speed bumps added, etc. in places where we need to go slowly. At my work complex the stated limit is 10 mph and even on my bike I am speeding, and cars are passing me, but it doesn't feel unsafe at all.

    This. My city keeps putting in more and more traffic cameras, but it doesn't slow cars down; it just generates revenue. If they actually wanted people to slow down, they'd reconsider having the main road look like a pin-straight four-lane highway.
