The measure is aimed at reducing accidents in urban areas with heavy pedestrian traffic and narrow streets, marking a major shift in the country’s traffic rules as these roads account for around 70% of all ordinary roads nationwide.

[...] above [30 kph] the risk of pedestrians suffering fatal injuries in accidents is said to spike.

[...]

The aim of the speed limit change “is to prevent accidents by stopping dangerous driving, such as failing to slow down even on busy streets”

The car at its lowest power still wants to exceed 30

Is... there a /s missing here? Because if not, that sounds like an issue with your car to be honest. I've never driven a car that had an issue keeping 30 steadily

    I just set my cruise control to 30 kph and cruise along. No jerkiness. Just sometimes people riding my ass that can't do 30 apparently.

    There's always a few people in speed limit conversations outing themselves. Do they lack the concept of riding on your breaks? How do they navigate a parking lot where you're very likely limited to 15kph?

    i can't ride my breaks, as soon as I touch the brake pedal, a minimum amount of regen immediately activates. I could drive very easily at 30 with my old manual petrol car. I'm not a (complete) idiot.

    edit: it's a chinese car. Their minimum is 40. s40? easy. 30? hell
