The Welsh parliament has passed a law bringing down the speed limit on all residential roads and busy streets to 20 mph (30 km/h). Not everyone is pleased.

    Now, you see - that’s a completely different argument.

    And also validates my point, all speed limits are tradeoffs.

    Don’t get me wrong though, 20mph/30kph limits are commonplace where I live and honestly surprised to hear that it wasn’t everywhere.

    For improved safety in the future we’ll need better driving assistance systems in the cars, and finally to replace humans altogether.

      I agree, it’s a trade off. That’s why reducing car usage is the most important thing. Making it less convenient to use a car, and more pleasant to walk and cycle are some of the ways you can do that.
