There’s a trend towards lower speed limits in cities all over the world, but why is this happening? What is the research behind it? And what is the “correct” speed limit for cities, anyway?

    Most of his critiques are of US infrastructure, so it would have been nice to have the conversions in the video:

    30 km/h = 18.6 mph

    50 km/h = 31.1 mph

    60 km/h = 37.3 mph

    88.5 km/h = 55 mph

      You can roughly remember it as:

      • 20 mph = 30 km/h
      • 30 mph = 50 km/h
      • 60 mph = 100 km/h

      but thanks for the precise numbers.
