By making 30km/h the general speed limit in urban areas, bicycles and small electric vehicles (e.g. scooters, microcars) become much more attractive. Traffic deaths would go down too.
- bluescrn 5y agoThe lack of secure storage space for bikes/ebikes/scooters is also a significant problem (along with rampant bike theft, at least here in the UK). This is a problem at both ends of journeys - shops/workplaces, but also homes for some. Not everyone has a practical way to store a bike - e.g. if you're living in and apartment only accessible by one or more flights of stairs.
