What were people thinking?

A couple of questions that struck me this morning…..
(a) why is Toorak Rd so narrow?  It should have dedicated parking lanes and two transit lanes in both directions.  Get stuck behind a tram and you're screwed.
(b) why the hell is is 40km/h for a good chunk if its length?  If it congests then the speeds are self limiting, and if it's not then why do we need 40km/h limits?
I just did a cannonball run up the road towards St Kilda with about 10 other people at around 65km/h for most of the run from the Monash freeway to St Kilda Rd (safety from cops in numbers…) and I honestly can't see any reason for it, unless they are deliberately attempting to steer people away from it by pissing them off with low speeds!
Mind you, the solution to that is to stop charging $5 for the goddamn Citylink run from Toorak Rd into the city….  Complete ripoff.
