Can lower speed limits save lives on Europe’s roads?
From Paris to Stuttgart, cities are hitting the brakes on speed in an effort to save lives.
Could this be the key to reaching zero road deaths in the EU by 2050?

If you needed more proof of the inefficiency of humans driving #cars, here's another example with #Lego bricks.
The #TrafficJam is granted after a certain number of cars. Just one car more, and everything slows down.
Human reaction times are bad.
Humans being drunk or unstable are worse.
Higher speed limits are the worst.
So, to limit traffic jam, we need:
- lower #SpeedLimits
- no drunk humans
- no unstable humans
- less human drivers
- less cars -

The weird thing about driving in Ireland is that everyone drives *under* the speed limit. I was on one of the big motorways, speed limit 120km/h, and most drivers were going around 85-90, even under perfect driving conditions.
Then I got onto a country road, and maybe I understand why.
Imagine driving for hours on in a lane barely wider than your tiny car, with no shoulder — just a stone wall or hedgerow immediately beside your. And the road twists and makes sharp turns, so you never know when a camper van or lorry or bus will be suddenly upon you in the oncoming lane, encroaching your side of the road.
And the speed limit? 80kmph. Sometime 100. If anyone actually drove the speed limit on those roads, they’d die within minutes.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/aug/12/britain-20mph-zones-save-lives-traffic-safe-streets?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other #TrafficCalming “Take speed limits. Rigorous new research published by Transport for London shows the number of people killed or seriously injured on London borough roads reduced by 34% following the implementation of 20mph #speedlimits, with the number of children killed falling by 75% (from four to one). That means fewer grieving families and fewer people’s lives made a misery. (1/3)
