And because the street is wide, people will drive fast, 40 maybe 45, some even 60-70, even if it's a residential street full of driveways and kids playing in the street. The 85% rule then takes the average speed, say 45 and assign the speed limit so that 85% will drive below and 15% will be speeding, then they place out cops to hand out speeding tickets to those 15% while everyone else will be a slow burden blocking the road.
This doesn't make the street safer, it only means more people will be speeding and can be fined for it. Just another tax providing doughnuts for the local corrupt cops.
The government's job is to pass legislation. In theory, in any system based on democracy, it's simply a tool used by citizens to organize large scale undertakings for the public good. It's also tasked with defending the STATE, not the people.
Safety is God's concern. No government can guarantee your safety; only God can do that. This is literally the philosophical foundation for the separation of church and state; prior to the invention of government, man had a relationship with God that governed his safety (among other things) and government has no right to interfere.
Anyone advocating for the government to do ANYTHING to "keep people safe" is a godless commie, full stop.
