Tempo 30 steht auf Dutzenden Hauptstraßen wieder zur Debatte
www.rbb24.de
Auf Dutzenden Berliner Hauptstraßen wurde wegen schlechter Luftqualität Tempo 30 eingeführt. CDU-Verkehrssenatorin Bonde will dies zurückdrehen. Die SPD befürchtet negative Auswirkungen für Schüler und fordert erst eine ausführliche Prüfung.

EDIT: changed article link and title to comply with rules (that I didn’t read 😛). The article that is linked now, links to the previous one (this one https://www.rbb24.de/politik/beitrag/2025/06/senatsverwaltung-verkehr-berlin-tempo-30.htm), and the title is the google translated of the new article, as close as original German as I can

The absurdity of the proposal is already in the title, and shows how motonormativity is spread all over the world.

Berlin has a very good public transit system, and a few 30 km/h zones cannot be that bad.

I would love to hear opinions from someone who lives there!

    This really hurts my brain. How can politicians be this shortsighted?

    I’m living here and you are absolutely correct. Public transit is good. Most streets are 50 km/h. Some are 30 but that is oftentimes not enforced.

    Several studies have shown that a speed limit of 30 km/h can massively reduce the number and severity of accidents. But as Germans we hate the idea of slowing down for other road users. We bought those shiny non electric cars and we want to blast through the city, god damnit!

      not shortsighted, they’re trying to make the city worse. They’re conservatives and middle parties voted in by people not from the center of the city.
