They’re doing the whole thing where I live where they’re reducing speed limits to 40km/h instead of 50 to reduce deaths during accidents. Its a whole movements and has a name, but part of the process is you’re supposed to alter the roadways so the 40km/h feels like what you should be driving. Narrow the roads, add bike lanes etc. If its designed for 50, people will go 50
They’ve done none of that. They just lowered the speeds on major through ways across town to 40.
No one does 40 they keep doing 50, including cops which dont seem to care for enforcing it.
All I can think is that if youre going too fast it gives the cops leeway for a bigger ticket e.g people would speed and do 60 before but now that would be 20 over instead of 10.

I have never seen a cop do the speed limit.
