Doug Ford banned speed cameras. The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after the ban. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit. (feddit.uk)

This. Higher speeds in isolation mean nothing if the design of the streets keep drivers equally safe at those higher speeds.

I mean, it’s usually Germany and other neighbours in Europe that put such forethought intentionally into the designs of roads (look up the YouTube channel Not Just Bikes for more info), but we occasionally have strange confluences over here, too

One thing Germany has is a lot more variety in speed limits.

Within a minute you can go from 100 to 150 to no speed limit to 50. But good luck convincing people to put a 50 zone on the 401.
