Up here school zones are 35 or 45, normal city streets are 50, urban
corridors are 60, the "ring rode" is 90, most rural rodes are 80, and
main highways are 100. But thats all Kph, not Mph.

School zones here are 15. And, they have this insane habit of carrying
"school zone" signs INTO the roadway -- placing them between each pair
of lanes in each direction -- at times when students get in/out of school.
So, you're sure to be wary of taking the paint off the side of your vehicle
if you proceed through in too much haste!

(Of course, the volunteer crossing guard will no doubt make every
effort to record your plate number if you do so. Senior Citizens
with enough time on their hands to sit and watch cars creep by
twice a day tend to be obsessive!)

The story is told of an american driver being pulled over back in the
pre-metric days on Hwy 85, on the way to the 401, doing 85MPH. He told
the cop he was sure he say a sign saying 85. Cop said it was sure a
good thing they stopped him before he reached the 401.
