Jason, come on man. Your post is pure exaggeration and lies (that sounds harsh, but unfortunately it's true).

You'd be hard pressed to find a main street anywhere in Hamilton where people do less than double those speeds: 60-80

What? really? That's a complete exaggeration and not representative of the truth. Have people gone 80km/h on some main streets? I'm sure of it. Is that the speed that people normally drive? No. Should people be discouraged from driving 60km/h or higher, yes, I agree with you on that. However, when you make such ridiculous claims, the rest of your post loses credibility.

To back up my statement, here is a video of typical traffic flow on Main compared to Barton (as promised many months ago). Note that higher speeds are reached more often on Barton (the two way street) and at no time even get up to 70.

Those of you who live in Hamilton know that 9 times out of 10, fatalities happen on our one-way freeways

This is proven to be completely false by the data that has been posted on RTH. According to the data posted on RTH, 82% of the fatal accidents that occurred in Hamilton during 2010 were on Two Way streets.

Are you trolling Jason?
