minus-squareSippy CuplinkfedilinkEnglish8•2 years agoThat is just shy of 20 miles an hour for the guys that need freedom units
minus-square@GiveMemes@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglish-5•2 years agoWhich is pretty close to the speed limit of almost all the roads in Manhattan. Not sure why this is “world news” lol
minus-square@MoonRaven@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglish3•2 years agoI don’t know about there in the US, but in the Netherlands, we follow the speed limits. I hear crazy stuff about speeding in the US.
minus-squareSippy CuplinkfedilinkEnglish4•2 years agoDriving in the US is done on feeling alone. It doesn’t matter what the limit is, it matters what speed you think feels best. Everyone’s always doing that and if you’re only going the speed limit you’re probably obstructing the flow of traffic. It’s absolutely as bad as it sounds
minus-square@MoonRaven@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years agoHere we modify the road so it feels unsafe to go over the limit. This can be the type of road, speedbumps, etc.
minus-squareSippy CuplinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years agoWe do that too, sometimes. Mostly we just make them wider and more hostile to pedestrians
