Or, Will the speed limits crowd say SEE...the law is working, even though boat traffic was down, so we need to keep it in place.
Which will it be???

It depends on what baseline data is used at the end of the 2 years. If there have been no accidents that have been directly caused by excessive speeds over 45/25 before the law is enacted, it is impossible to reduce that number. Therefore, I can only deduce that speed-related accidents will either stay the same or go up during the 2 years. Then what? Will we say that the speed limit actually caused accidents?
