There’s a trend towards lower speed limits in cities all over the world, but why is this happening? What is the research behind it? And what is the “correct” speed limit for cities, anyway?
30km/h is about 18 mph. That’s gonna be a hard sell in America.
Many Americans drive faster than that in a busy parking lot.
Shouldn’t matter when people and children are dying from the current vehicle speed but I guess slowing down is an infringement on “freedom.”
This would be restricted to city streets. If you want more speed, use the highways or bypass roads that (ideally) aren’t anywhere near residential or city areas.
And the additional speed actually slows things down on congested roads, because you need more traffic lights (among other reasons).
Yeah well the rest of us really don’t care if “all y’all” kill each other on the road so knock yourselves out
