That's not the whole point of having a speed limit.
How many people do not feel that they can safely enjoy boating on Winni or on some other large NH lakes because of the excessive speeds of other boaters? I personally know quite a few. Many NH residents have been effectively forced off some of NH large lakes because they no longer feel that these lakes are safe for them to boat on.
How many NH residents will be adversely affected by a 45 MPH speed limit?
How mamy NH residents will benefit from a 45 MPH speed limit?
To me, these two questions are what the legislature needs to consider most to determine if HB162 is necessary.
