Victoria (British Columbian capital) recently dropped their residential speed limit to 30 across the city. Screw that.

Been talk for a while about that being introduced in Fitzroy/Carlton and has possibly already happened in the cbd?

There’s a major road out my way that has just announced it will be dropping from 70 to 60. I can’t really see the point in it (it has service lanes the whole way so people aren’t that close to the road as it is) but it also doesn’t really bother me.

I hate driving in the Melbourne CBD these days. It feels more stressful than it used to.

I rarely drive in the cbd but from working and riding it’s a complete lottery which roads will be closed, roadworks, single lane etc. the big build, however you feel about it is one of the worst co-ordinated major infrastructure projects the western world has seen in the last 20 years.

The speed drops happened near me.

70 to 60.
80,to 70.

Don't know why Vic roads to this .

Yeh I’m certainly not defending it, I’m sure vicroads or whoever would be able to spin some stats on how the new speed is more effective at “whatever” just noting it doesn’t really bother me.

I think someone crunch the numbers and found that the decreased speed limit will slow the journey on that road by 17 seconds.

But yeah under the rules as they are clubs can do what they like. If Young ends up selling himself $1m short over his career that is also his call.

I never understood Alistair Lynch contract for 10 years

I also felt he could have made more money but maybe he also felt it had controls in place in case of injury etc

The AFL definitely needs to have a rule change about contract lengths. At the end of the day it protects both player and Club, obviously more so the Club than the player.

I remember Shan Motlop would only lay tackles in contract years ...when he was at the cats.

Got my motlops mixed up.
Stevie motlop tackle beast only in contract years.

They have done it. Not that it makes much different it's not like you can fly down those streets anyway

Why are Americans losing their shiz over their own military drones ?
