I finally found a reporter brave enough to write what is clear to all from time on the issue of speed limits in the car, and go against the pernicious equation "more speed = more danger."
Without going into the technicalities of the fact (which is true) that is not the speed to be dangerous, but the acceleration (or, rather, the sudden negative acceleration), this claim is not "politically correct" is that the speed limit when it makes no sense, or does not fit the road on which it is placed, is systematically violated.
It is only a veil, wash your hands a notice by the owner of the road that simply relieve a problem (I can not do maintenance on the road? and then down with limits) or trivially tries to raise cash, as is unfortunately confirmed by several judgments on the relationship between local authorities and the companies that produce detectors of speed, so to speak, "unscrupulous."
Or, in my opinion and I am really the last straw, the limits that are located near the construction sites (70 km / h on motorways, 30 or even 20 km / h on normal roads). When you meet them you immediately create a traffic jam, and in extreme cases you may tamponade. In addition, there are certainly the way in which "guarantees" the safety site personnel - which, of course, every right to expect that their safety is a pre-requisite. None of them, I think, feel protected by the fact of placing the sign "20" into the barricade.
