Lexi ⛯ @ash243x.bsky.social · 3hi don't personally believe speed limits are a good idea, to be kinda controversial. i'm pro speed humps and chicanes and narrower roads though, that force all drivers to slow down, and not just law abiding ones, who then create an unintended hazard themselves by being a speed differential to traffic 140
