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.
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.
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.
My truck idles at 18mph. So yeah, 20 is a pain.
