People seem to think that if it’s a temporary limit (but for months), there’s no obvious roadworks, and no cameras/cops, they’ll do the original speed anyway. See: 60 zone on West Gate Fwy…
Many don’t care that the emergency lane is gone so it has to be 80, nothing gets in the way of their usual commute!
I’m so relieved I don’t need to do that drive for work any more
To be fair in similar situations the emergency lane is there and workers were just too lazy to take the signs in. I guess the point is that if you use the signs when you really need them people will respect them. But if they are just left sitting around unnecessarily it breeds contempt and people start ignoring them.
I drive the 80 zone on the M3 every day, twice a day. It amazes me the people that just fly through. It’s not that hard to do the speed limit?
