Spain cuts city speed limits to 30 km/h nationwide
Original: MORE BIG NEWS: Spain has just reduced speed limits to 30 km/h (18.6 m/h) on all 2-way streets with single lanes in each
Spain has lowered speed limits to 30 km/h on all two-way streets with one lane in each direction and on single-lane one-way streets across the entire country. The measure covers what are generally considered residential streets, and officials frame it as a push for more livable, humane cities. The change is drawing wide attention from urban planning advocates, who see Spain as a leading example of the growing international movement to slow traffic in residential areas.
Why now: Urbanists and city-planning advocates are highlighting Spain as a major national example of the low-speed-street movement for safer, more livable cities.
