LADOT probably has a higher body count from poor maintenance than either category.

No. 1-7 under is the desired rate of travel, with 35 being the limit.
1-7 over is over the speed limit.
It's a limit.

Doesn't compute. Every one I've ever seen is stuck firmly in the left lane, regardless of the line behind them.

Wait, so all roads, the limit would be 35 or am I misreading that comment?
Driving slow under the speed limit has been shown to be far more hazardous than over the speed limit. If your goal is to promote safe driving and reduce accidents, they should be treated equally. If the goal is to promote safer driving, the penalties should be the same going both ways. Whatever the allowable variance is to the limit number, it should be on both ends. Anything over and below that limit, the same fines are incurred.

35 was an example.
The limit is 35. Cars travel 28-35 MPH. Lower or higher than that is a big fine and/or license suspension.
And you’re correct in the hazard with the way the system currently operates. Right now we don’t have speed limits. We have speed targets, and the line drawn on how far away from the target one can get is highly dependent on the drivers view.
Make it an actual limit. And yeah this would mean on roads where the limit is 35, 40 or 45 would likely be more appropriate as cars will be traveling 0-7 miles under the limit or they face fines.
It requires an overhaul of the way we drive and set speed limits.
Or set min max
Min 28
Max 35
Anything above or below and you’re fricked. I just want people to stop speeding.

Driver A who is pissed off at driver B then road rages then drives recklessly because he had to slow down for 20-30 seconds.

This is the problem with your plan though. You are blaming everything on speeding.

Incorrect. It will still be a problem with your system because your only concern is falsely directed solely at speeding. Even in your new system you will still have the more hazardous driving problem, slow driving.

I mean yea, there point is to relegate the flow of traffic and attempt to mitigate accidents by standardizing an average speed of travel for a certain road.
For your plan to work, you need to set speed goals and promote a consistent travelling speed. If the number is 35 mph for a road, then there should be a window on either side of that number that is allowable, anything above and below that number faces the same fines. That way we are enforcing a consistent driving speed because again, slow driving has been proven to be more hazardous than speeding, so just addressing speeding like you are, doesn't fix the problem you are wanting to actually fix.

I don’t know what you’re arguing.
I’ve already said fine the shite out of people both ways above and below the range.
