The most annoying this about those speeds, is that a car is far more efficient at 50km/h, than at 20km/h.

- Symbiote 11y agoI suspect the point is to make it pointless to drive, when you can cycle at that speed anyway.
- Piskvorrr 11y agoExcept you are lucky if you can get even to 20 km/h in Paris, forget about 50 km/h. "Fluid traffic" is a red herring in such circumstances - those other cars always get in the way ;)
- kilotaras 11y agoAlso far more deadly.
- shawn-furyan 11y agoThe closed system of the car is more efficient. It's not clear that allowing cars to travel at speeds that makes it impossible for them to share roads with pedestrians is globally efficient. Really, allowing cars at all is a concession to global efficiency. In that light, one can see the benefit to abridging driver's generally assumed right to utterly dominate any place they aren't completely prohibited.
