Reductions in speed limits and safety No, I will not mention the controversy of 110 km / h on the motorway. I'm more interested in the balloon about 30 km / h in two-way streets in town, one more case in the controversy over whether it is safer driving down the generic limits.
Well, in general I think this type of error measures. The reason is that I think security in terms of speed is properly set specific limits (marked by a sign) to the hazard and circumstances of each tranche. Lowering the generic limits that information is lost and also rotularía a signal of 30 km / h zone and pedestrian traffic without another where today is the signal because there may be children playing near or because it is an area where people walk down the middle of the street quietly having little traffic (real case that I found and also at night and out of a curve) . The problem of systematizing the signals to indicate distress limits in sections that are not is the story of Peter and the Wolf. You get to a section you really need to go to 30 because of the risk seriously and do not believe it. It is not effective to maintain the tension in all sections: it is inevitable that there are people who simply relax or be distracted.
same thing happens on conventional roads, where it is not logical to have the same limit (90 or 100 as the shoulder) in a huge line with perfect firm in a dangerous stretch in which more than that speed you could start to have problems, especially if there are adverse weather conditions.
In the case of the limit to 30 km / h I think that what is needed is common sense. Avoid instil safety messages in the pedestrian, that take you to relax in sections in which today would not. And for safety violations in the city you have to do is fine severely those who do not respect crosswalks or traffic lights who skip rather than walk with generic limits. Urge mentalizing such people that a yellow light means stop unless it is dangerous, not accelerated.
On the issue of speed limits is often referred to Germany: what is not often mentioned is that there specified limits marked by the signs themselves are respected. Topics can be attributed to cultural differences, which are partially right, but I think even the calmest German is exasperate in Spain, for example going through the round of Valladolid, away from inhabited areas, with a limit of 40 km / h every time you approach a traffic light (at a constant step 40Km/hy 80Km/ha again 80km / h, if you do that, than to risk a truck ram into you, you get caught all the lights closed while most are open 90). In Spain, as it is assumed that the limits are not real and the signals are not informative, it's okay to miss the common sense not to let the signals with the same limitations of work when no one is working and the way is clear (even when works have been completed in this section) that while heavy machinery and operators ...
A wave of Hispanic and generally in countries with little democratic experience is an excess of laws and regulations, as total as not met, nothing happens. Years ago at the news of an attack by going over 80km / h in an area of \u200b\u200b50, and light BAC red, there were people who advocated lowering the limit to 40. But if I went to 80 and the limit was already 50 and in any case the abuse was to skip the traffic lights! but of course, the argument is that as people ignored and will always faster, drive down the line. But maybe ignored precisely because the legislature is saying that, that like I know you're not going to limit you get, so I put more bass ... This is as childish as a project manager to estimate how much hours it will take on a task systematically downgraded it because you are suspicious that not saying the actual hours and obviously it only fires that in the end, estimates are inflated.
