Copenhagen Proposes 30 km/h City Speed Limit

Commuters in Copenhagen may soon need to slow down. A new proposal aims to limit city traffic to 30 kilometers per hour.

Line Barfod proposed the lower speed limit. She is Copenhagen's Mayor of Climate, Environment, and Technology. The new limit would cover most city roads and bike paths.

The main goal is to reduce serious traffic accidents. Lower speeds create a calmer urban environment. Fast electric bikes and mopeds must also slow down on cycle lanes.

This change directly affects drivers, cyclists, and families residing in Denmark. The Copenhagen Post reported this proposal.
