Why does NO ONE drive the 70km/hr posted speed limit. What's with the average speed of 50-60 km/hr on this road. It drives me INSANE.

Drivers tend to drive with the speed that feels safe for the given street. Sometimes thats over the limit, other times it's under. Perhaps that's what's going on.

You must not drive on this street very much if that's your opinion on EMP. Vehicle operators don't seem to understand the speed of the street is 70 km/hr. It’s a 3-lane wide road that everyone seems to go 50-60km/hr on when the speed limit is posted to 70. It comes down to an awareness issue, which is evident as many drivers in this City don't seem to have any.
