  • It’s not about speed limits, it’s about the drivers’ perception of the road, where drivers will reduce their speeds on narrower, more chaotic streets.

    The posted speed limit only dictates the penalties, not the actual travel speed.

    Example: LaSalle, Montreal, there’s Saint-Patrick street by the canal that has 3 lanes on both sides, completely deserted, businesses on one side with a narrow concrete median. It’s posted as a 40. Everyone goes 70 because it’s a wide, uninterrupted stretch of road with great visibility and no obstacles, however the posted speed limit is there as large trucks drive in and out of nearby businesses.

    It should be reduced to 1 lane per side + turning lane in the middle, the side walls should be made wider to take up the rest of the street, and trees on the side to create a tunnel effect. Notre-Dame on the other side of the canal has a similar issue, but it isn’t as bad. There’s still one too many lanes, however.







  • You’re talking about extensions.

    Extensions that don’t come from GNOME are not supported at all, they’ve made that clear. If they wanted to, they could just stop allowing third party extensions altogether.

    This is because they hook directly into GNOME Shell’s’ internal JS, which changes every release as they refactor it for performance or feature changes. Developers have a few months before release to adjust their extensions for the newer version.

    Personally, I just raw dog vanilla GNOME for stability, and it works fine.
