I made an error in the original graph for Stittsville. The original graph said 85th percentile speed but it actually showed average speed. My bad :(

Here are corrected graphs for Stittsville.
* Average speed
* 85th percentile speed
* Speed limit compliance (%)
* High-end speeding (%)

Gas tax transfers would be focused on other capital projects like BRT, Para Transpo buses, etc.
