The legal speed limit on everyday 'residential streets' has been set at 30 km/h. The aim is to improve safety on narrow roads shared with pedestrians and cyclists, but riders also need to know how to identify which roads the rule applies to.
When you first hear '30 km/h on residential streets,' you think, 'which roads does that even apply to?' Whenever I ride down a narrow street myself, I always get a little scare from pedestrians or cyclists. Knowing the rule protects both yourself and others. Rather than thinking of it as enforcement, if you see it as a promise to ride gently through residential neighborhoods, it makes sense.

When enforcement ramps up, bikes tend to get targeted first, so gotta be careful.
I get it, but hit a pedestrian and it stops being a matter of a mere fine.
Residential areas have always been told 'drive at 30', so it's overdue but actually enforcing it matters.
The problem is it's unclear which roads are covered. No signage, no way to comply.
Does this mean all narrow streets become 30km/h? Sounds hard to tell which ones apply.
30km/h on residential streets, if it cuts down on near-misses on narrow roads I'm for it.
