This sense of entitlement is insane.

Children and pedestrians are getting hit in crossings. The reduced speed limit is both to give more time for drivers to notice crossing pedestrains and also to reduce the severity of injury in the case of a collison.
Maybe we should endeavor to idk not have massive metal boxes exceeding speed limits next to where children are walking to school.
Crossings can be easily improved to reduce this by adding buttons and flashing lights, and having a delay on the walk sign so cars have plenty of time to stop before anyone goes onto the road. These are not hard problems to solve.
"Massive metal boxes" – ah, so you're one of those car-hater types. Gotcha.
i've had far more close calls in the crosswalk than i've had jaywalking. the average driver is much much worse at driving than you all like to think you are.
slow down you fucking maniac.
