      On side is a park, the other side is residential.
      This is the exact place where you’d want low speed limits. Some cities treat the roads beside parks like school zones, dropping the speed to 25 or 30 kph.

        Yeah in Victoria it’s been lowered to 25. Nobody drives that speed though. People drive what speed they feel comfortable despite what the signs say

          Which is why we need to design our streets so that the speed at which drivers are comfortable matches the speed that is safe and sensible for the other people sharing the street, such as pedestrians and cyclists. Raised crossings, in-street traffic calming, narrow winding streets, paving stones, etc.
