Make cars use more gas by having operate at speeds they aren't meant to operate at constantly. Check.
Make people sit in cars longer resulting in longer commutes and more pollution. Check.
Claim that some number printed on a sign magically saves lives. Check.
Do literally anything to actually address the issue at hand. Not check.
enlighten us
The senedd is literally just lowering the speed limit in residential areas, it's not like they're lowering speed on motorways.
It's not going to slow anyone's commute, but it is going to lower the likelihood some child gets flattened going to school.
Libs successfully analyze context, cause and effect challenge lol
The goal is to have them ditch the car. How is this going over your head?
Go eat some grass nerd lmao
Imagine being unable to comprehend the point of this law
@Name @Tywele Strict speed limits save lives. Lots of lives. Hoboken NJ has a speed limit of 20mph and it hasn't had a traffic death in years.
Lower speeds gets better gas mileage.
Lower speeds means spreading out when people arrive, improving traffic.
The concept of more velocity being equal to more force is a pretty simple and fundamental concept in physics (if you really want to be a pedant the force required to overcome the decelerative forces to maintain a constant velocity at higher speeds)
Too bad they can't just complain about people doing something instead of nothing on the internet like you.
I agree. The longer time people spend on the road, the more pollution and traffic you get. The obvious logical solution will if course be to abolish all woke speed limits and instead mandate that motorists drive as fast as humanly possible at all times.
Literally the "more people will die but others will get to work faster, raising productivity" argument
