Speeding is OK in Orem

Orem city is promoting the idea that by raising the speed limits, they are making the street in front of my home "safer." However, it is interesting to note that the mayor and City Council members who unanimously voted for the increases have not come forward to offer that the speeds be raised in front of their homes.

In fact, quite the opposite. They have expressed the desire to have the speeds maintained at their current levels — or even slowed down — in front of their homes! Apparently, the faster speeds that are "perfectly safe" for my children aren't "safe" for theirs.
