Looks like local councillors are beating the drum on 507 speed issues. Poorly written article, below, outlines some of the issues.
In the general area local councils have responded to this type of issue by reducing speed limits from 80 kph to 60 kph, which is a glacial pace. This would kill the 507 for everyone and make riding (or driving) it an agony.
As a community we're shooting ourselves in the foot here in that can we enjoy the 507 at reasonable speeds vs. those which place riders at risk and causes run wide accidents on corners. Locals are very unhappy with excessive speeding, aggressive passing and the numbers of accident in general, in particular those where a rider runs wide on a turn and smashes head on into a vehicle coming the other way. Very tramatic for sure seeing a rider lying in the road dead after he smashes into your SUV because he lost control doing 40 - 50 kph over ++.
