daihard (he/him)Switching 50km/h speed limits to 30km/h would protect cyclists while barely affecting commutes, research finds
It has long been argued that lowering the speed limits to 20 MPH (roughly 32 km/h) dramatically increases the collision victim's chance of survival. In Seattle, all the neighbourhood streets now have a speed limit of 20 MPH, but IMO it should be even lower—e.g. 15 MPH, or for narrow streets, even 10 MPH.
