Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion
Mr. Michael Rowland:
I am not. However, I can say that Norway and Sweden, which are the leading authorities in terms of road safety, both have 20 km/h speed limits. Finland has also introduced a 20 km/h speed limit for e-scooters during the day and a 15 km/h limit at night. Austria has introduced a top speed of 20 km/h. In certain central areas of Paris, there is a speed limit of 20 km/h.
