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.

Hot take: Rural drivers shouldn’t get a say in how urban roads are designed

It’s not their city. They don’t live in it. They can stay in their town if they don’t like it

Is it not crazy to think that people in rural areas also enjoy the city and go to urban areas? It’s still the same country.
As visitors though. I don’t think their needs are irrelevant, but they shouldn’t carry as much weight as the daily users’
Not sure it’s visiting necessarily if it’s their nearest urban center, as then it would be their main source of a lot of stuff so it’s theirs too.
