"If the province doesn't want to deal with it, then basically what we go back to is building up our streets with blobs of asphalt, putting speed tables [raised sections] in, putting concrete bulb-outs — cluttering up the streets like that and changing the built environment — so people will slow down."
Quote from Janice Lukes. I think this is actually a good idea. We can’t design our streets like racetracks and expect changing the speed limit to slow people down. I’m sure changing the speed limit would work to an extent, but a lot of people literally just don’t follow speed limits at all in the first place. What we need, first, are narrower streets that will naturally slow people down. A good bonus here is that those streets will cost less to build and maintain, since narrower streets need less asphalt, and asphalt is expensive.
