En relativt ny studie publisert i mai 2024 om standard 30 km/t fartsgrenser i byer. Dvs. en går ned fra 50 til 30 km/t.
Mye av den samme konklusjonen som en rapport fra #TØI
En høy andel elektriske kjøretøy, slik som i Norge, vil ha enda høye effektivitet ved lavere hastigheter. Synd da at ingen norsk by har 30 km/t som standardhastighet.
