The unanswered question is was the intent to study or to delay?
Perhaps the Dept of Safety realizes that the cry for speed limits is not about safety and used the political ploy to envoke common sense. The cry for another nanny law has its roots in revenge against a Baja incident. PAC money has been used to whip up fear among the sheeple. The MPs need to focus their limited budget on real safety issues, such as violations of the right-of-way regulations.
