As drivers, we do not care for speed limit signs. I am grateful. Once disembarked, however, we support speed limits for other people. We watch drivers whiz down our home streets and shake our heads. This brings us to the city of Tampa, where neighborhood groups want the city to lower the citywide, residential speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph.
Nothing is simple.
A million dollars. Curious, I talked to Elton Smith, the city's transportation manager. Maybe less if they do a whole bunch at once. So to spend a million dollars, that's. . . It turns out that state law provides for a 30 mph speed limit, unless a different limit is posted.
