There's a trend towards lower speed limits in cities all over the world, but why is this happening? What is the research behind it? And what is the "correct" speed limit for cities, anyway?

Most of his critiques are of US infrastructure, so it would have been nice to have the conversions in the video:

30 km/h = 18.6 mph

50 km/h = 31.1 mph

60 km/h = 37.3 mph

88.5 km/h = 55 mph

You can roughly remember it as:

  • 20 mph = 30 km/h
  • 30 mph = 50 km/h
  • 60 mph = 100 km/h

but thanks for the precise numbers.
