Hazard limit

[Tommer]

Hiya,

We've the problem that only a few amount of people slow down for the hazard at the moment, often many keep speeding because they think they'll get away with using the grass.. or speeding through that narrow gap between the cars that's just about to be closed by the tow etc.

My suggestion is to combat the number of people who do this, by introducing a hazard speed limit.

People will see the hazard sign from the set distance that they normally would, and once they have travelled 80% of the distance from here to the vehicle using the hazard sign the new low speedlimit will kick in giving users a fair amount of time to safely slow down.

I'd recommend setting the hazard speedlimit to around 30mph.

Why?

Because people won't slow down to 30mph. But when they've a 30mph speed limit I think they would slow down to atleast 50-60mph (think about on the AB or highways) to avoid losing serious money where they were previously travelling 120mph+

I don't think cop's should be able to chase people for breaking the 30 limit because speeding with a 30 limit will be punishing enough with serious loss rates if you don't slow down.

Obviously this could be misused but I think that as long as the punishments for misuse are clear to the cop's this won't be a problem.

Just an idea.
