More importantly, I don’t think the state actually wants to reduce speeding, because that would reduce revenue from tickets. In my neck of the woods, there are a lot of speed traps- speed limit changes designed to cause people to speed accidentally. So the speed limit goes from 65 to 45 for seemingly no reason, then back to 65 a mile later. The length of highway that is set at 45 often has terrain that favors lurking police cars. This is predatory. And it bothers me.
Ah ok. It should be noted that it’s perfectly consistent for both of the following to be true:
At the current margins, the state doesn’t really mind speeding and mainly sees it as a source of revenue.
If speed limits were not enforced at all and was only suggestions made on signs at the road, the culture around driving would shift to very often speed very strongly.
