I agree. One pedestrian injury in forty years constitutes a dangerous street where the speed limit must be lowered.

Similarly one pedestrian fatality in forty years definitely indicates an unsafe street warranting a lower speed limit without any investigation if speed was even a factor in either accident.

PLEASE GIVE ME A BREAK. You can look up any street in the city and you will probably find one pedestrian injury or fatality on any given street.

So I guess by that standard, every single street can be considered dangerous. And your justification for lowering the speed limit that your chance of survival improves with a lower speed limit, is only try if everyone actually abides by the lower speed limit. In most cases, they do not, because in many cases it does not make sense. Most drivers drive at a safe speed.
