This year, the speed limit in #Bordeaux dropped from 50 km/h to 30 (30 to 20 mph). Joins #Montpellier #Grenoble, #Nice, #Lille, #Nantes, 200 other cities in #France with 30 km/h limits.

This has already led to an astonishing 70% decrease in crash fatalities.

@straphanger The result of a car crash is mostly dependent on speed. 10 km/h difference is insignificant on short distances but very significant in car crashes.
I’m happy to see thoughtful regulations more and more.
