MODERATORS
i misread that, and thought the entire country was going to implement it. this really does make a lot of sense (in this particular city). but i woudn't go around and limit traffic in every city to 30km/h like some politicians in germany tried to do.
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.
