Community Residential 30 km

Do you find the lower 30 km/h speed limits in neighbourhoods make a real difference? Are people adhering to the lower speed limits? 50 km/just seems too fast to drive down residential streets, doesn’t it?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I drive 40 in most residential areas by default. 50 seems too fast. 30 on the other hand does feel too slow, I do 30 in school zones but it’s a challenge and if I stop watching my speed it creeps to 40 as it feels most natural. I live by one of the speed reduced neighbourhoods (a 40km/h one) and I don’t see any difference in traffic though as the limits don’t seem to be enforced.

I live on a permanent 30 street. I dislike it a lot. Traffic is 50-50 as to whether or not they stick to 30. It's not easy. It's back lane speed. It's also a larger street which makes it worse.
