In my home town back in ther Netherlands they reduced maxspeed almost everywhere from 50 to 30 and the roads are designed for it. Good luck trying to drive faster than 30, you won’t like it. You also don’t need it as now almost all intersections are roundabouts, making traffic flow continously and easy and the end result is that for any trips under 5-10 kms (say, 4-8 miles) its faster there than in a city here in Canada. Hell, same distances on bike there are after than here in Canada by car.
Seriously, take a hint from the Netherlands, its frigging awesome
That because none of it is designed right.
