30km/h in urban areas
Has anyone heard about the new urban speed limits and where they apply. Someone told me all current 50km/h zones will automatically become 30km/h zones. If so that will certainly slow things down...

Re: 30km/h in urban areas
The standard sets the new speed limits on urban roads, based on their classification:
The speeds on single lane roads with a pavement which does not differ in height from the road's surface will now be limited to 20 km/h.
Roads with a single lane each way will be limited to 30 km/h.
Roads with 2 or more lanes each way will remain unchanged with a limit of 50 km/h.

30kmph ..... blimey I won't get out of 2nd gear. Depends on what they class as urban. People drive much faster than that down the parking slip roads on Torrox Costa. Makes backing out of a chevron parking space quite hairy at times

Re: 30km/h in urban areas
Its totally understandable, people drive like idiots. Leave earlier, drive slower.

But, driving so slowly means falling asleep and/or the opportunity to do lots of sightseeing, watching ass on the pavement etc.

Driving as usual then for most around here. Everything else seems to be much more interesting than actually looking at the road
