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 isn't 30km/h still too much for humans? Shouldn't this be more like about 24-25km/h? Do you know about any medical background here by any chance?

Good news. More cities should follow.
