Ireland is adopting a default 30 kmh (19 mph) speed limit in urban areas - Lemmy.World

Many cities in Switzerland are implementing the same, but there is significant opposition from the rural areas. I hope we will arrive at 30km/h in all urban areas.
More incentive fo bikes and public transit if taking a car is more obnoxious (and safer for pedestrians)
Bus is also gonna go 30 max though?
Buses generally don’t go fast anyway in urban areas
They do, it’s just the average speed is low because they have to stop every few hundred meters.
Probably one of those cultural things that differs by locale

I once had a grad class that let out at at 10pm. On the bus ride to class, I was fine. On the ride from class my stomach was in my throat, all the nausea. After a few classes I figured out the difference: on the way to class, there was traffic and people getting on and off. On the home the bus just booked it over all the potholes because it didn’t have up constantly stop.

That’s also when I learned Dramamine [anti-nausea med] makes me wicked nauseous on an empty stomach.
