“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death

The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

@BrentToderian Meanwhile, bring up the same statistic to a US traffic engineer and you will get a reply (especially if said engineer benefits from male privilege and you do not) that "speed limits must be set based on data, not emotions." That literally happened in a discussion about the speed limit through a rural village center with a school and library.
