Roads are safer, better marked and better lit with better signage. Crosswalks are better marked. People are making longer trips and there at more people who need to get places in reasonabe periods of time. And most of all the mass transit system as barely expanded. We now have the IND but lost many elevated lines. Streetcars are gone. Buses are slow and need to go faster than 20 mph.There are any reasons for speed limits higher than 20 mph. Chances are if you are crossing the street where you supposed to, there is very little chance you will be hit. Also, lowering the speed limit does not ensure anyone will drive slower especially when that slow limit makes zero sense. Absolutely no one is ever driving at 30 mph on perpetual Gowanus work zone area. No one will abide by a Queens Blvd 20 mph limit if it were in effect. |
