There is no data that demonstrates what you say, that 20MPH represents a specific threshold or “dividing line”. That’s not how modeling works. [/quote]

AAA says you're wrong.

But if you'd rather set the safe speed limits at 15 mph instead of 20 mph, I don't have any problem with that.

Are you so stupid that you are incapable of even reading what you post? 20 MPH is not mentioned and as I pointed out already, there is no “dividing line” or threshold as you claim because that’s not how modeling works. You cyclists want to be respected? Stop being lying whiners.

[quote] Results show that the average risk of severe injury for a pedestrian struck by a vehicle reaches 10% at an impact speed of 16 mph, 25% at 23 mph, 50% at 31 mph, 75% at 39 mph, and 90% at 46 mph. The average risk of death for a pedestrian reaches 10% at an impact speed of 23 mph, 25% at 32 mph, 50% at 42 mph, 75% at 50 mph, and 90% at 58 mph. Risks vary significantly by age.[/quote][/quote]

Posted speed limits must be numbers divisible by 5. Did you know that?

Also, which part is whining? The higher the speed, the greater the danger. That's just physics.[/quote]
First off, you are dumb. The reason that the speeds are reported the way they are in the study is because effects are modeled.

Second, you specifically said that 20 MPH was a “dividing line”. Can you explain that? Based on the link you provided, what makes 20 MPH a “dividing line”?

Hint, you cannot because it’s a curve.  :roll: [/quote]

What's your point here? You don't like 20 mph speed limits? You think there should be variable speed limits for drivers, depending on the age of the pedestrian? You think 20 mph is too fast? What are you arguing about?[/quote]
Answer the question. Please explain how 20 MPH is a “dividing line” like you claim. I am all ears. [/quote]
