    Speed limit reductions are often unpopular.

    This policy is clearly evidence based. Not playing politics. It’s why the conservatives oppose it. They take contrarian positions to fuel outrage, that keeps people voting against their best interest.

      It’s clearly not evidenced based, because the most recent evidence says that just slapping a 20 sign on a road built for 30 isn’t good enough and leads to massive noncompliance.
