Just because people have their backyard facing a highway doesn't make it a residential street. If that were the case, there are interstate highways that would qualify as residential streets. Actually, 27/441 are more dangerous than Morse/BV from a traffic entering and leaving the highways perspective since there are many parking lots that cars exit to and enter from. With minor exceptions (e.g. rec centers), on Morse and BV the only place a car can enter or leave it are at controlled access points (roundabouts and traffic lights).
Also, I take exception to being characterized as a tailgater ("people like you") - here's a life lesson for you: just because someone advocates a change in a law, it doesn't mean that they are a law breaker or a discourteous driver. If you are behind me on Morse with your cruise control set at 32, you'll likely rear end me since mine is set at 30.
