Speed limits don’t control how fast drivers go, road design does. If they want to increase safety they should make the roads narrow and curvy while adding bigger sidewalks and bike lanes.

Why not both?
That’s like 18mph. That’s insanely slow unless the place is super dense. It would literally take me hours to cross my city alone at that speed.
My neighborhood is 20mph and it costs me more concentration to keep it that low than cruise 25-30 and be on the lookout. Apparently concentration on riding my brakes is safer.
I'm a shit driver

30kph is normal in many places in Europe and doesn't cause any of the problems mentioned ITT
My truck idles at 18mph. So yeah, 20 is a pain.

Sorry to hear about your tiny genitals lol
It's a dense city but 30kmh is way too slow. For such a left leaning city pretending to care about the environment, this is dumb considering how inefficient it is to drive at that speed
The man, the myth, the legend himself captain slow!
We car, go slow.
Confused Europeen sounds.
Is this in the US? Why is it in Km/h?
Canada. Bc Victoria
That clears it up. Thanks!
It's Canada, they use metric (officially).
Makes sense. Thanks!
