Unlike the comment on reddit saying this won't reduce crashes, I'm going to point out that it's not designed to. Road to zero is about recognising crashes will happen, this move is about reducing the damage when crashes inevitably occur.

The idea I think is for people who "normally" drive at 10 or 20kph above the speed limit, encouraging them to normally drive at the speed limit instead.

I guess we also don't know the threshold (1kph over probably won't get you a ticket, but will 5kph?)

Yeah the threshold would be interesting.

If we could normalize doing no more than the posted speed in this country, driving would be much more pleasant. Especially long trips.

It even right there in the name "limit".

It saddens me how many people think it's the lower limit.
