I feel that this article is written from the perspective of disgruntled, anti-speed limit zealots. Can anything be done to shift the tone to informational from sarcastic and borderline hostile? - [[Special:Contributions/74.128.57.230|74.128.57.230]] ([[User talk:74.128.57.230|talk]]) 21:51, 24 July 2008 (UTC) |

:It appears rather to be written from a perspective unwilling to ignore arguments from either side of the speed limit debate, pro or against. Referring to those who are against limits as "zealots" identifies your opinions as biased in the same way referring to those who support limits in the same manner would.

The 'opposition' section seems to be contentious. It appears that there may be a problem regarding inappropriate synthesis (WP:SYN). I don't think anyone doubts that there is opposition to speed limits, but some of the content of that section is unrelated to the formal opposition of speed limits. It may make sense, as has been suggested to me, to move some of the content to pertinent sections such as 'safety and efficacy'. Non-compliance, for example, demonstrates by itself that speed limits are opposed. One source that does mention much formal opposition (my copy is lent out to a friend) is "American Autobahn" by Mark Rask. |

This article may need further reorganization, shouldn't variable speed limits go under signage? On a more Machiavelian note, I'd like to see this and similar articles incorporated into projects, in an effort of improvement and cohesion. Perhaps a new project, such as traffic?[[User:Synchronism|Synchronism]] ([[User talk:Synchronism|talk]]) 06:18, 12 October 2008 (UTC) |
