Here’s more evidence to disprove the many self-serving, nonsensical allegations that reducing speed limits does nothing to improve road safety!
Quote: “Seattle Dept. of Transportation data suggests on roads where speed limits dropped to 25 mph there was a 35% reduction in crashes.”

Two videos and more details regarding the Seattle project are available from KOMO News.
