I should have mentioned that 4 roadways have retained their 30 mph limit. Unfortunately those few roads do not have the best bike infrastructure either. Burlington may be a "hip, happening" town to many, but to us serious bike commuters it falls short. Fortunately, we have a pedestrian/bicycle council that is working hard to gain improvements.<br /> <br />I'd like to think that slowing the speed limit will make it safer for all and not anger drivers in the process.anniebikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761205231523083781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050916568736413860.post-4709507847880343432011-12-02T13:43:14.789-05:002011-12-02T13:43:14.789-05:00I am not convinced that setting speed limit at 25m...I am not convinced that setting speed limit at 25mph CITYWIDE is the best thing to do. It essentially slows down motorists to crawl.<br /><br />What makes more sense is to create zones of slower traffic around residential areas, while build protected bike lanes on those main streets with faster car traffic. This way you reach the true compromise: safety for cyclists without slowing down drivers.bostonbybikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002562971047930168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050916568736413860.post-23390070279337930712011-12-02T09:31:45.093-05:002011-12-02T09:31:45.093-05:00Exciting news for Burlington indeed!
