Recently drove in Scotland where built up areas generally have 20mph speed limits. I found It made little difference in overall journey time Felt safer, stopping distance much reduced Easier to join the traffic Similar speed as cyclists Felt safer and more relaxed as a pedestrian, easier to cross the road
How fast is 20 mph?
About 36 kmph.
36000mph? Wow!
Yes, 36000 metres per hour
Miles are really big
Zoom zoom!
Around the speed of a quick push bike.
25% faster than a quick electric scooter
You know those things can get up there now, right? Like 70+mph
They’re amazing it’s a shame all forms of electric scooter or electric powered vehicle outside of cars and motorbikes are illegal here.
And yet I see them all over the place
Yeah, talking about the much more common types you see people using more often in cities. Also why I didn’t say 25% faster than the highest end ones
