That traffic engineers feel comfortable with 30mph speed limit signs in a residential subdivision is unconscionable. I mean, if the engineer feels 30 mph is safe, what speed does the driver in the heavy insulated isolation box feel is safe?

We have an infrastructure problem. A road sign begging driver compliance is a failure of proper road design to meet that streets intended use. Everything in the street view favors high-speed car traffic. Large sweeping radii for corners. Unnecessarily wide lanes. No bollards. No chicanes. No modal filters. This residential street even with the beautiful sidewalks, was never intended for families, or an 8 year old tiny human on a bike. It was designed for high-speed car use at the expense of an 8 year olds life.
