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?

In the next city where i live and the smaller almost cities around it, all side roads are 30km/h for a few years now. Some people seem to really hate it, and i kinda get why, when you drive there or live there and out of habit go 50 and get fined, it’s hella expensive. But i’m super happy with it. 30 is plenty
Doing >30mph on side roads sounds reckless to me! Glad we’ve got 20 here.
km/h =/= mph
30 km/h is effectively 20mph.
I am aware of that. I was referring to the people habitually doing 50kmph in side streets.
