Amsterdam is preparing to lower its speed limits to 30 kilometers per hour. The measure will only take effect on December 8, but from Monday, the city will install almost 5,000 new speed signs, adjust 170 traffic lights, and take other “infrastructural measures,” the municipality said. It is also launching a campaign with the slogan: “We drive 30 for each other.”
It’s been the speed limit in Dublin city centre now for some time. The logic is that collisions with humans are rarely fatal at that speed. Tbh it is slow but you’re not exactly going fast within the city limits in old European cities anyway.
Outside the city it’s normal speed limits here. 50 in towns. 80 most places. 120 on the motorway.
Edit: that’s 30 / 50 / 75 in mph
Ah make sense. Thank you
