The article is in Dutch. The city is reducing the speed on many city roadways from 50 km/hr to 30 km/hr, to increase safety for cyclists and pedestrians. The goal is to reduce traffic injuries and deaths by 20-30%.

As usual, carbrains on social media are complaining left and right. "Some ebikes are faster!"

False equivalence. Why even bring up ebike speeds, like they severely hurt as many people as cars. Also, good news for that driver, you are free to switch to an ebike...

Cars and bikes should have different traffic laws but the existing laws should still be respected.
