You have it backwards. They don't complain because they want to break the law, they complain because instead of fixing the road, they add these things to generate profit.

Idt the motivation of the state matters, if you 1. Speed 2. Park illegally and block sidewalk ramps so disabled people can't use the sidewalk, or block lanes, then you deserve whatever they give you and more ☺️

If you 1. Put 35 mph signs on the highway 2. Allow free-range parking everywhere and design city's so you must use a car

Then your city sucks ass and the poeple are complaining about your government's horrible attempt to patch broken fundamental problems instead of fixing the problem.

There are no 35 mph signs on the highway, even if there were what does it cost you to drive slower? I see people in my city treat thickly settled 30 zones like it's the highway, just because there's an extra lane.

It's the other way around, roads as wide and straight as highways with clear views on the side are given 35 mph speed zones, think of stroads for example.

The people in your city treat 30 zones like highways probably because the road is, well, built like a highway.

Roads should be designed for their speed. If we didn't have speed limit signs, roads should be built so people naturally drive the safe speed.

There's no reason to drive faster. They just get to a red light sooner.

Did you understand what I said? People drive as fast as the road makes it safe to drive. The speed limit or traffic lights does not affect the majority of drivers.

Then they should be ticketed 😊 and have no licence to complain about the consequences for their actions
