Let Cities Lower Speed Limits

SwatchJunkies

The Seattle Times has just posted my op-ed on speed limits, commenting on a tragic hit and run that killed Michael Wang, a Seattle photographer and father of two. I argue that it’s time for Washington to trust localities to set lower speed limits, as do British Columbia, Idaho, and—increasingly—Oregon.

Later this week, I will post here a more complete version of the Seattle Times piece, with links to sources and the numbers explained.
