Good point. I didn't think that public roads such as MB and BVB would be controlled by about 0.1% of the traffic that uses those roads. It's a little different with the diamond lanes, which have orders of magnitude more usage by carts than MB (south of 466) and BVB. No wonder so many people speed on BVB; the general public instinctively feel the speed limit is too slow given the very sparse LSV traffic.
