One for the Dustbin: The 85th Percentile Rule in Traffic Engineering

B' Spokes: Just to note at one community meeting where residents were complaining about speeding motorists and how hard it was to cross the street (no lights or crosswalks) BDOT offered to raise the speed limit. :/ We seriously need to end the notion that streets are safer with higher speeds (a concept from 1964)
