That’s like 18mph. That’s insanely slow unless the place is super dense. It would literally take me hours to cross my city alone at that speed.
My neighborhood is 20mph and it costs me more concentration to keep it that low than cruise 25-30 and be on the lookout. Apparently concentration on riding my brakes is safer.
30kph is normal in many places in Europe and doesn't cause any of the problems mentioned ITT
My truck idles at 18mph. So yeah, 20 is a pain.
Sorry to hear about your tiny genitals lol
It's a dense city but 30kmh is way too slow. For such a left leaning city pretending to care about the environment, this is dumb considering how inefficient it is to drive at that speed
Ridiculously inefficient. My best economy is at 47mph. I get about 20% of my peak below 20mph.
