The SFPR shouldn’t be 40km/hour. The road’s speed limit will be set to 80km/hour for a host of good reason. The problem with the road is that it will be designed as a freeway with freeway standards. I will guarantee that most people will be going 100 km/hour. This is not good for efficient, safety, or the environment. If the province wants people to be going 80km/hour, they shouldn’t be building a freeway. BTW, many of the hundreds of people that are losing there homes and the farmers losing 1,000 acres of prime land don’t thing the SFPR road is a good idea.

The two don’t compare.<BR/><BR/>Designing and building residential side streets to promote slower speeds, and even lowering the speed limit on side streets to 40 km/h, is a completely appropriate measure for the context of a residential side street. <BR/><BR/>But you seem to be suggesting that the South Fraser Perimeter Road, which is a highway, and a badly needed one at that, should be built to the speed standard of a residential side street. That doesn’t make any sense. Are you really suggesting this?!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06755470075003420062noreply@blogger.com
