30kph in every city centre makes sense. It's safer for everyone, including drivers. Nobody wants to hit a cyclist or pedestrian and you can see more at this speed, and have a shorter length to stop.

It also encourages people to take ring roads if they need to be on the other side of a city and need to have their car there.
