I agree Bare.

BUT

15 mph is not reasonable. You can't just say it's safer because by that logic 10 mph would be even safer. And 5mph would be even safer than that. Most new cars on a flat surface idle at about 10 mph. Where do they come up with 15? I would rather see 25 strictly enforced than 15 loosely enforced where 95% drive faster.

But let's all be cognizant of our surroundings and watch out for neighborhood foot traffic.
