Unfortunately most noise from cars at speeds above 30km/h is due to tires hitting the road surface, not engines.

That's why we also need speed limits of 30km/h in residential and commercial areas.

That doesn't stop anyone in the states

It stops people in the Netherlands, because the Netherlands narrowed their streets and installed traffic calming. We shouldn't be thinking of speed limits as a sign and a law. We should be thinking of speed limits as a psychological result of our infrastructure's design.

Sounds smart...exactly why it can't happen here.

why would we want a lower speed limit than school parking lots have?

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 months ago

Because the speed limits in school parking lots are too high.

That’s more bearable than the fuckers with loud exhaust.
