60 km/h is an insanely unsafe driving speed when there are pedestrians or cyclists anywhere nearby: that's how we end up with heaps of dead children in the streets. Driving on ordinary streets in populated areas should be more like 30 km/h (20 miles/h), and roads should be designed so that cars naturally go that speed even without significant enforcement by traffic cops.
- Lvl999Noob 3y agoThat's why I also added a (or lower). I do not know what a safe driving speed would be. I just know its way less than the 100 KMpH that roads are usually designed for. Driving speed should be about equal to a leisurely human-powered bicycle speed. Or maybe lower since they have more mass, but no one's gonna agree to that. (Maybe that's a good thing?)
