MODERATORS
This is exactly it. Enforcement isn’t the answer; that only creates excuses to pad police budgets. Fix the road design, fix the traffic flow in the city. If people think it’s safe to go past a school at 50kph, that road is built improperly, or the school is built on the wrong road.
Your using people very broadly there. Some people see a narrow street next to a school and think a reasonable speed is 30 kph. Some people see that same road, don't notice the school and judge they can go 50kph. That second person needs some enforcement to discipline them otherwise they'll keep using their metric for safety, which is far from what a normal person would measure, much less a traffic safety expert.
