Amsterdam is preparing to lower its speed limits to 30 kilometers per hour. The measure will only take effect on December 8, but from Monday, the city will install almost 5,000 new speed signs, adjust 170 traffic lights, and take other “infrastructural measures,” the municipality said. It is also launching a campaign with the slogan: “We drive 30 for each other.”
That is true, but most people without e-bikes don’t reach 30+km/h in a burst, unless they’re on a road bike specifically designed to accelerate quickly. However, there are strict speed limit laws for e-bikes, not only that they can’t power above 25 km/h. Them not being enforced by the police is another thing in itself 😅
