En relativt ny studie publisert i mai 2024 om standard 30 km/t fartsgrenser i byer. Dvs. en går ned fra 50 til 30 km/t.
Mye av den samme konklusjonen som en rapport fra #TØI
En høy andel elektriske kjøretøy, slik som i Norge, vil ha enda høyere effektivitet ved lave hastigheter. Synd da at ingen norsk by har 30 km/t som standardhastighet.

To date, more and more European cities are systematically working to expand the proportion of their street network with a speed limit of 30 km/h. This paper endeavored to assess the effectiveness of city-wide 30 km/h speed limits in Europe. In an effort to condense research outputs, a quantitative approach along with qualitative assessments were implemented. This study described the changes in safety, environment, energy, traffic, livability, and health before and after the phased implementation of city-wide 30 km/h speed limits. The systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Results from 40 different cities across Europe, including Brussels, Paris, and Zurich, indicated that reductions in speed limits improved road safety by decreasing the likelihood of crash risk and the severity of crashes that do occur. On average, the implementation of 30 km/h speed limits in European cities demonstrated a 23%, 37%, and 38% reduction in road crashes, fatalities, and injuries, respectively. Lower speed limits also yielded environmental benefits, with emissions decreasing on average by 18%, noise pollution levels by 2.5 dB, and fuel consumption by 7%, indicating enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Encouraging citizens to embrace walking, cycling and utilizing public transit services can further contribute to a safer and environmentally sustainable urban environment.
Had a great afternoon in New Taipei recently with Susan Wang and Kuan-Yuan Lai! The two are collaborating on an ambitious and fascinating VR production spotlighting Taiwan’s rich cinematic history. Ms Wang, director and script writer, brings a professional background in urban planning to the project. Mr Lai of Poké Poké production studio is producer. Both bring fertile imagination to their creation along with a great sense of fun!
It was my pleasure to provide some voice acting, and a little bit of translation, for an earlier edition of this project. Now it is blossoming into something truly special. I can’t wait for you to experience the finished production. I will share more news as it breaks!
