In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
Going from 30km/h to 40km/h might not feel much faster to a driver, but getting hit by a car at 40 km/h would cause way more damage than one going 30.
And that assumes the speed limits are followed. Around here, 40km/h = 60km/h.
Drivers in residential areas aren't being slowed down because of these speed limits. It's the stops they have to make at intersections that slows them down.
Which is probably why the majority of drivers ignore stop signs, too... 😮💨
Somehow, I read that as to nearly 200
As in 200km/h, lmao
Making this about school zones is totally disingenuous. Children are not walking to and from school outside of 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
There are reasons to be opposed to this, but it being done in school zones is not one of them.
40 kmph is about 25 mph, for those less metricaly inclined
Oh I thought it said TO 200. That's... Slightly better.
Must be where MKBHD is filming his next car review.
This is a step backwards.
