I drove 30 on Ward 2 @citywaterloo streets to see how much slower it was. Check out why I think we should go to 30 in this video series.

1/6 - What's the difference between 50, 40 & 30 on survival rates?

@ClairHills are safe streets worth 22 secs off your commute?

#VisionZero

2/6 - Why changing speed limits is an educational tool and also impacts enforcement (2 of the 3 E's of transportation engineering)

@LaurelwoodNA - are safe streets worth 15 seconds off your commute?

3/6 - Where is the rest of the world heading on this topic?

Laurel Creek - are safe streets worth 30 seconds off your commute?

4/6 - Is this the fiscally responsible choice?

Columbia Forest - are safe streets worth 13 seconds off your commute?

5/6 - Does changing speed limits work?

@ClairHills South - are safe streets worth 23 seconds off your commute?

6/6 - Vista Hills is unique. It is likely the longest distance you'd have to travel in the whole City if we were to change the limit to 30. In my last video I talk about which streets would change & which would not.

Vista Hills - are safe streets worth 40 secs off your commute?

Big thanks to my daughter for filming. Please don't make fun of my unruly mop too much, I haven't had it cut since August 😀. I also want to thank all of Council for this discussion. In particular @TenilleUptown @DianeLFreeman @jenvasic have really helped bring this forward.
