Most drivers don't respect speed limits because many if not most speed limits in urban areas are unrealistically too low while in rural areas most make sense or are even too high.

Answer me if the city was so concerned about pedestrian safety why can't the speed limits actually reflect the conditions on the street. If the speed limit on streets like Summit Street were 10 mph and streets where the limit should be 35 mph not 25 moh, maybe then drivers would respect speed limits.

I have seen a 45 mile limit on the Garden State for a supposed "work zone" extend for 20 miles and there was not a sign of work or even narrow lanes. Is it any wonder that every single car was doing 65 mph. I have even seen police cars flagrantly violate work zone speed limits without lights and sirens.
