The extra 2 mph translates to a very very slow walking speed. I realize they have to set a limit somewhere for the law, but telling us it is for our safety is ridiculous. As far a tipping over, even at 15 mph you could tip over on a tight curve if you are too dumb to slow down. Like another poster said, concentrate their time on construction trucks, especially food vendors in the southern end of TV flying from one job to another.
Also, about a week ago while doing 21mph on St Charles, I was passed by a bicycle. Now that is not a license vehicle so why is it legal for him to go faster than me, and to cross highways that I can't?

I agree with you and believe common sense ought to trump here. the two deaths mentioned here did not occur because of speed. In fact spped isn't the cause in most of these accident. TV has greatly expanded and will require people to travel greater distances. I have no problem with the 19mph on cartpaths. However we have many residents who are traveling below 15mph and backing up traffic. So every time I hear that guy must have passed me at 30mph or over I question that guess. Its more likely that the person being passed is under 15mph and it seems to them that a 19mph seems like 30mph. Frankly I grin and bear it because I don't want to pass anyone.
I know i am wrong but why do I feel like this citation are just plain exercises in harassment???????????????
