I am appealing to the selfish side of the hurray up people to think about how long they may be delayed if they have to stay at an accident to finish the police interview and wait for the medical transport to leave. Not to mention how they might feel after killing someone's grandma or grandpa.
Roundabouts - 20 MPH before you enter
Most streets - 30 Mph or LESS! (Yes 30 MPH is very slow)
Once again, the car driver is vilified and presumed "guilty" of speeding/being in a hurry.......when MAYBE....JUST MAYBE.....the bicyclist was negligent and riding hazardously!!!!!

AND, this was probably an ACCIDENT....a concept many refuse to admit exists.
