Something I love about Oslo: This city is incredibly quiet.

Lots of people are walking/biking/scooting. And most vehicles are electric, while speed limits are typically 30 km/hr (19 mph), so engine/tire noise is negligible.

A reminder that cities aren't loud; *cars* are loud.

@davidzipper Given the majority of vehicles are electric, this would be an interesting opportunity to examine the impact of brake dust and other emissions on overall Air Quality Indexes (generally currently really hard to disentangle as they are considered relatively negligible in comparison to internal combustion engine emissions)

@DToher @davidzipper Interestingly air quality is Oslo in winter is often terrible, especially when lower temps. Wood burning and the city sits in a basin.
