Copenhagen Mayor Proposes 30 km/h Citywide Speed Limit

Drivers and cyclists in Copenhagen may soon need to slow down. Line Barfod is Copenhagen’s Mayor of Climate, Environment, and Technology. She proposes lowering speed limits across most of the city to 30 kilometers per hour.

The new limit would apply to both roads and cycle paths. Barfod believes lower speeds will reduce serious traffic accidents. She also says it will create a calmer city environment. In addition, the change aims to make cycling safer.

Lower speeds could change how people commute through the capital every day. This news comes from The Copenhagen Post.
