Really, nobody needs to be going faster than 28mph downtown, anyways. The only vehicles that should be going that fast or faster downtown are BRTs, trams, and light+ heavy rail. 18-20 mph is what we should be aiming for for cars, just like we do for active school zones and construction zones. Speed humps and narrow roads to force cars to slow down. That minimizes pedestrian deaths and injuries, and pushes people towards public transit and biking/ebiking.
