Amsterdam is preparing to lower its speed limits to 30 kilometers per hour. The measure will only take effect on December 8, but from Monday, the city will install almost 5,000 new speed signs, adjust 170 traffic lights, and take other “infrastructural measures,” the municipality said. It is also launching a campaign with the slogan: “We drive 30 for each other.”
Well done Amsterdam! One councillor brought a motion to do this in my city, but it was disappointingly called “socialist” by the far-right party with a massive 20/27 seats, and voted down.
