The arterials that have speed limits of 30 miles an hour are
refured to as thoroughfares. Some of them are Mabelle/spotswood, 6th, 3rd,
D' street, E' street. With no obvious concern for pedestrian or children,
the city has designated these streets for through streets to aleaveate
congestion on other major roads.
I also do not understand why.
I have notice that the streets that are thoroughfares have speed of 25 mph
up to the edge of the business are (down town).
