Reply to comment by BiffBiffkenson in Flashing Yellow School Zone Speed Signs Should be Mandatory Alongside Zone Cameras by BiffBiffkenson

Not knowing where a school is is not an excuse to speed. City speed limits are 25 anyway (only 5 above school zone limit) and to get a ticket you have to be doing 29/30 anyway so you were already speeding that’s the reality. So leadfoot still applies. Blaming signage is just an excuse.

This was coming south around the corner on Newport Ave approaching St Margaret's I was just in traffic with everyone else going the same speed as everyone else at the start of rush hour.

I never said it was an excuse but a flashing school zone sign eliminates that as opposed to the static black and white signs the camera company put up.

If you don't understand that their signs are designed NOT to be seen I have a bridge to sell you.

If you're saying the speed limits in East Prov are limited to 25 your are out of touch, and incorrect. And while you may not need to know when you're speeding, you certainly do need a sign to tell you when others are. "You're still speeding"?

I’m saying city speed limits in generally are 25 unless posted otherwise so by going above that regardless of signage is making a choice to speed. Unless you know you’re in a 30+ you’re just being a reckless driver by choice and deserve a ticket. But you know that and just want carte Blanche to drive like a jerk and somehow get off with no consequence.
