w000t!  

As of today (past night) cars are only allowed to drive at max of 30 kilometers per hour within the city of Amsterdam(many places it's a lot lower!)

It's a new rule to give people walking and on bikes a more safer feeling  

Glad to see infrastructure change in favor of the human and not the car

@stux you'd hate it in the US!
@JustABokoblin @stux In the US, many cities already have surface street speed limits of 25. The cities are designed differently, with faster roads elevated. https://data.sfgov.org/Transportation/Map-of-Speed-Limits/ttcm-fwt2
Map of Speed Limits | DataSF | City and County of San Francisco

A. SUMMARY Maximum speed limits per street segment for the City of San Francisco. Speed limits are indicated primarily for streets that have speeds greater than 25 MPH, unless the speed limit has been changed from a higher speed or a speed survey has been conducted to enforce the de facto speed limit of 25 MPH. 25 MPH is the de fact speed limit for most residential and commercial streets, and apply to streets on this map denoted by a 0 MPH label. Alleys narrower than 25 feet can have de facto speed limits of 15 MPH. B. METHODOLOGY Speed limit legislation information is taken from MTAB legislation and in some cases directives from engineers in the 5212 classification. Speed limit implementation information is taken from SSD Shops Reports and then parsed via python code. Implementation for speed limits will specify when signs are put in stating the new speed limits, and the work order that the sign installation was spec'd in. C. UPDATE FREQUENCY Updated quarterly or on an as need basis by request
