That's not to say that there is not an occasional speeder but I don't see it as a chronic problem.
Last week in my car with my speed control set to 30, I had a guy tail gate me going south on Morse and just north of Rio Grande he went across the double yellow line, passed me, slammed on his brakes while pulling in front of me then started screaming at me for going to slow. Going 30 caused him to go into total road rage, then he speeds off and was easily going 40.

I live in the area so I am impacted by this poorly planned roadway everyday. I would like to see 25 max speed limit, carts and cars share the road so at times traffic will only flow at 20, give the cart path to walkers and bicycles. Double speeding fines like in a construction zone.
