[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I don't think the speed limit is waht makes this dangerous -- it's the poor visibility of the crosswalk. On a curve with parked cars in front of it. It's difficult to get up to 35 on that stretch, because it's so narrow for 2 cars to be driving beside each other.[/quote] Lower speeds give drivers better peripheral vision and more reaction time. Plus if there is a crash, it's less likely to kill or seriously injure the pedestrian at lower speeds. If it's not safe for people to cross there because the drivers are driving too fast, then the answer isn't to take away the marked crosswalk. It's to get people to drive more slowly.[/quote]
