Our children are victims of road violence. We need to talk about the deadly norms of car use - eviltoast
We accept the daily toll of road deaths and injuries as the price we pay to be able to drive everywhere, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

    but really low speeds like 6km/h only belong in carparks and high pedestrian areas.

    20km/h should be the norm for areas like shopping streets

    Absolutely. Which is why that nobody is saying 6 km/h should be the norm. The article said closer to. With current speed limits normally being 60 km/h, and you’re extremely lucky if you can get it reduced to 40 km/h, their “closer to” is pretty obviously not saying it should be 6 km/h. They’re talking about 30 km/h on local residential streets.
