SSC causeway there's a sign telling you 50kph limit is coming up

georgia viaduct wtf do you need to do 90 leaving downtown vancouver when you're gonna be held up at main/terminal anyways? or prior st the next block is set at 30kph

believe it or not, people actually live on boundary, there's bus stop there too, like 30ft from the fishing hole.
the funniest thing is they've been there for at least 15 years, if no one's following them then they're doing their job, enforcing the law
The problem is the speed limit is out of date. And CoV pushing the limit down to 30km/h is just pure cash grab. Pedestrian safety is important, educate them not to jaywalk.

Another example Garden City Road north of Westminster Hwy was 60km/h and got lowered to 50 a couple years ago. No reason doing so.

Lastly, vehicle brakes had also greatly improved over the years and creating inefficiency (lower speed limits) just working backward.
