    My vehicle almost idles at that speed! Hope it works out for them. You could probably go faster on a bike. You know what I’m going to do? Read the article. I’ll be back with an edit if needed.

    Edit: 80% of Amsterdam will have a speed limit of 30km/hr to increase safety and reduce noise.

      Yeah, that’s kinda the point. I’m a gear head through and through, and I support fewer cars in the city, it is not where they belong. I just spend 15 minutes driving around looking for a parking spot tonight. I wished I’d just been able to hop off a train.

      Amsterdam is well known for making trips by bike and foot the fastest and best way to get around. I am very jealous.

      That is just shy of 20 miles an hour for the guys that need freedom units

        Which is pretty close to the speed limit of almost all the roads in Manhattan. Not sure why this is “world news” lol

          I don’t know about there in the US, but in the Netherlands, we follow the speed limits. I hear crazy stuff about speeding in the US.

            Driving in the US is done on feeling alone. It doesn’t matter what the limit is, it matters what speed you think feels best. Everyone’s always doing that and if you’re only going the speed limit you’re probably obstructing the flow of traffic.

            It’s absolutely as bad as it sounds

              Here we modify the road so it feels unsafe to go over the limit. This can be the type of road, speedbumps, etc.

                We do that too, sometimes. Mostly we just make them wider and more hostile to pedestrians
