  1. That can’t be true, that implies people driving fast aren’t as good as drivers as they always say when they complain about these things. 

  2. Yes. Driving the appropriate speed limit reduces accidents; nobody should challenge that this is a good thing!

    However, that doesn’t change that a speed limit should be adjusted to be appropriate factoring risk and road conditions.

    In my opinion, a speed limit needs to be linked to safety. Not to political ideology and certainly not to a “traject controle” as a service that makes a private company rich(er) with tax payer money. That money should go to building safer roads for all types of transport.

    Moreover, it’s a shame that society needs more cameras due to a growing amount of idiots that make roads unsafe. Everyone is giving up privacy because some people think they’re too good to adhere to the speed limit.

  3. Interested in the research, but article is paywalled. Did they study the impact of trajectcontrol, or confound it with the usual “lower to 30 and add traject control”? Im curious if just the presence of traject control improves safety (novel insight), or this is just a rehash of “driving slow means less accidents”

  4. Article is behind a paywall. But very logical if the total accidents roughly dropped from 3 to 2.

  5. I mean, and they make sense in many situations, but I can’t help to be irritated by having them always be the same. No, 11PM during weekend/holiday when you’re alone on the road is not comparable to 8AM in rush hour. Have adjustable speed limits and make them clear.

    The day trajectcontroles and speed cameras are installed in real dangerous places with speed limits dictated by sense and not political/financial/ideological reasons will be a new one.

    And this is coming from someone who has never been fined for speeding in more than 20 years with a licence … I just often feel like I’m putting myself in danger more by following the speed limit instead.

  7. This sub really thinks that if they vertaal anything but the kernwoorden, the niet-Nederlandstaligen will still understand
