That's called the "Barcelona superblock theory", wherein higher speed limits are allowed on a 3x3 or 4x4 'grid', with low speed limits on the interior blocks, allegedly keeping the interior streets 'safer.' I think it's just a bunch of crap.
There's a lot of babble in my neighborhood about people speeding - and danger - and 'the children' - and there's "baby on board" stickers in every window and those stupid "drive like your kids live here" lawn signs. Everywhere people whining about changing the speed limit on our local streets from 25 to 15.
And yet these people who are screaming are the same people who tailgate me in anger in their G-wagons whilst texting and snap chatting and trying to get their precious spawn to the country day school if I go the posted 25 in my 'dangerous sports car.'
Ahhhhhhhh. that felt nice.
