Speed limits don't do shit without enforcement. For whatever reason, Seattle has too many aggressive maniac drivers, so the solution needs to involve removing these drivers. Make human driving almost entirely too inconvenient or costly in tandem with fully building out transit and foot and bicycle access, ADA exceptions, and autonomous vehicles (yes, there are good examples of this technology on roads, Tesla is a joke).
