I have to go into the CESS POOL for jobs now and then.

To translate the article below this isn't about safety it is about REVENUE!!!

Lower the speed limits and cash in with the tickets.

Create jobs and make money.

The clowns in Seattle think the sheep won't get their game plan but I'm no sheep.

Been watching their revenue making ways for years disguised as everything else but the truth behind their motives.






Seattle considering plan to lower speed limits all over city
by Lee Stoll & KOMO Staff


SEATTLE - Would you add another minute to your commute if it could make Seattle streets safer?
City leaders are announcing a plan to lower speed limits on many streets as part of the city's Vision Zero plan - zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2030.
The proposal is to drop speeds on residential streets from 30 mph to 20 mph and and other streets from 35 to 30 mph. The City Council will consider the plan at Tuesday's meeting.
According to the city's research, five out of 10 pedestrians survive a crash at 30 mph. But the survival rate jumps to nine out of 10 when a car is going 20 mph.
The average car trip in Seattle is about 3 1/2 miles, so dropping speeds from 35 mph to 30 mph on some streets will add about a minute to the trip - or 17 seconds per mile.
The Vision Zero plan is a large partnership between the city of Seattle, the Washington State Patrol, state Department of Transportation and others.
Organizers say the plan is working. Changes along Aurora Avenue North have cut serious crashes down by 28 percent.
Lowering speed limits is just part of the project. The city is also looking at street designs, education and enforcement.
