Utrecht takes a big step towards safer traffic: maximum 30 km/h on streets shared by cars and cyclists

On the night of July 9 to 10, the municipality of Utrecht lowered the speed limit on approximately 270 streets. Now you are not allowed to drive faster than 30 kilometers per hour on these streets. Previously, you were still allowed to drive 50 kilometers per hour here.

On these roads, cars and bicycles share the same lane. Utrecht aims to make traffic safer for everyone on the road this way.
