    Devils advocate: if they are catching such slim margins they equally should be catching people going 5, 10 or 15 over of not more and actually being dangerous.

    Yes it sucks to get fined for being in the margin of error, but if it was anywhere a residential or school zone I’d say it’s worth it given how easy it is for a child to wander into the street and how little it takes for a car to seriously harm or kill said child.

    The best solution is just better public transit so people don’t feel the need to drive but getting more drivers to drive safer is a good first step

      Luckily all the school areas have flashing signs that show you your speed .

      And your second point about public transit, Thats a pipe dream. Come live in Toronto, it’s never going to happen. It would be lovely if transit was well funded, if it didn’t cost me $4 to travel 8km in 90 minutes. But Thats never going to happen. Not unless we nuke the rich. We have been hearing about new transit plans that get immediately canceled by the next administration for decades. All we do is get jerked around
