Oh, welcome to the eu. Speed limits are going down, generally. At least in this nick of the woods, we aren't driving as fast as in the eighties. The goal is zero Trafic fatalities.

Totally viable as an option if that's the goal.

If that's New Zealand's goal, they should do exactly the same.

But if they're looking for a balance between risk and convenience, there's factors to be considered that the article glosses over.
