Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht are asking the cabinet and the House of Representatives to quickly regulate the reduction of the maximum speed to 30 kilometers per hour. Currently, almost half of all roads in the four largest cities already have 30 kilometers per hour. Now that cities are getting busier, that is far from enough, say the big four, G4 for short.
Amsterdam alderman Egbert de Vries (Traffic and Transport) points out that ’80 percent of the number of traffic victims’ fall on roads with a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour. “In the past we gave the car too much space in cities, now quality of life is paramount. If we want to better protect pedestrians and cyclists, we must take action.”
